My computer is a 1.3ghz AMD Athelon, 768 mb of RAM, and the video card is a NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200. The graphics STILL stutter, esp. the video. Are there any BIOS settings that will make the the video stop stuttering or settings in general that will make it all go faster? Thanks in advance.

nope. no bios settings. update the drivers for the video card from its manufacturing site. also, your motherboard may not be able to use all the pipes that the video card is capable of. there are tons of vid card help sites and forums. search on google for them.
sorry but since your pc has soo many variables to consider, you have to do some researching yourself.

I've had this problem before; it's caused by lack of hard drive space. If you have Windows XP, make sure you have at least 17 gigabytes of free space left. I know that's a big amount, but believe me, Windows is the biggest memory and HD hog I've ever seen. My Linux installation is way better, I have only 8 gigs total for Linux, and it's running at full speed! Ah well, I guess Microsoft likes making horrible software for the disappointment of the masses. Also, try downloading the latest drivers from http://www.nvidia.com/ . My GeForce card didn't work right until I got an official NVIDIA driver.

I dont mean to sound stupid, but are you actually plugging your monitor into the new video card or into the onboard video card.
also do disable the onboard video card cause it will eat up your ram if it is enabled.
check that your harddrive is running in dma mode and not PIO mode
go to control panel, click system, hardware, device manager, ide controlers,
check that both the primary and secondary ide chanels are set to dma if available, and that none are in PIO mode
then make sure your processor isnt running at 100%useage
push crl alt del and see.
if it is runing at 100%, disable windows update.
next defragment your harddrive.
then look to see that your antivirus isnt currently running a scan.
hope you get it figured out!

You need to go into BIOS or on the motherboard and turn off the on board video. That should help. If it doesnt recheck the video card you bought for its minuim requirements are for the prcoessor and memory.

Have you ever considered your CPU to be the bottleneck? I had an AMD thunderbird system back in 2002, and it was a decent performer, but what types of games are you trying to play? Most new games would probably cough on a legacy CPU.

Be sure to download the latest driver from Nvidia, I had this prob with my AMD/GeForce Fx 5200 as well.

The ram has to handle that video before the card plays it. 1GB is about the minimum for playing movie quality stuff. At least make sure that the virtual memory in your computer is enabled.

well u can try to Flash your Bios, or flash any other type of hardware that has revision's, if this isnt the graphics that belong there and your board has on board video disable the on board vid from the BIOS,u can also check to make sure all your cables are set in good, and this may sound stupid but check your monitor cable to see if there aren't any bent pins

Did you disable the onboard graphics card in device manager, or cmos?
Then, follow the instruction manual for your new card to the letter to get the settings.
