I swear I could keep this forum active with all my problems alone.

Ok so heres the situation. I play World of Warcraft and I noticed somtimes when I log on the game is very choppy. The degree of choppiness varies from not so bad to making the game unplayable. I just noticed that when it gets very choppy in the game it will also be choppy aol IM chat window. What I mean is I'll be typing to someone and normally as I type I can see the letter I type in the chat box, however when the computer is choppy I'll type the words in and it goes fine for most of it, but then all of a sudden I stop seeing what I type in for a second and then all of a sudden everything I typed during the choppy moment is then in the chat box(I hope I'm clear on what I mean by this).

Now this doesn't happen all the time, I would say most of the time everything runs fine. However it happens often enough that I want it fixed. Somtimes it clears itself up on its own if I wait it out, other times it seems like it will never stop. Restarting doesn't always resolve this like it did on my old computer (it only happend in games on my old computer)

System specs are:
Athlon 64 3500+ 2.21 ghz, 2.00 gb of ram
Dual nVidia 6600gt
Seagate SATA hard drive, not sure the exact specs but I can look it up if needed (that reminds me, when I installed windows it asked me to limit the space of my hard drive from 250 gigs to 150 gigs to allow windows to install properly, anyone know how to change this back like windows said I could?)

Any further questions you may have let me know. I'm not great with computers so bare this in mind, I may need to know how to figure your question out.

Oh and finally I have all the latest drivers installed to the best of my knowledge. I've checked screen refresh rates and they seem to be correct, I've tried different settings for it and it doesn't fix it.
