As suggested, I've dropped down to 1024x768 and it's sweet as a nut.

Just finished the air boat bit - superb.

Yes I am taking it slowly ... I explore *everywhere*.

1024 x 768 on a 9800 Pro using Softmod 4.11 drivers and an AMD XP2800 CPU. Not a hint of a graphics problem

For anyone experiencing sound stuttering, I hear that defragging helps a great deal with it. I'm defragging my games comp overnight - hopefully it will fix everything for me. The stuttering made some parts that should have been awesome somehow unfun.

I'm getting the sound stutter and I've ran a full defrag and still getting it

Runs really smoothly for a few seconds then the stutter. I think I may need a new HD because I have had some corruption creaping in recently and I can see the HD light come on in sync with the stutter.

ATI 9800 Pro
AMD XP 2700+
512MB Memory
2 x Maxtor 60GB HD's (striped to 120GB)

Looks like another rebuild on the way (wish I'd ordered the new HD before I started the reformat last week :angry: )

Beta 4.12 drivers from ATI. Not tried, not tested, you never saw or talked to me understand?

Still the odd clitch wehn loading, but MUCH better.

Okay .. I've done a bunch more experimenting:

First: decompiling the sounds gcf makes no difference (I even noticed a slight increase in stuttering, if anything)

Second: it isn't just sound stutter - a lot of it is the game trying to load textures. Turning the texture detail from high to medium helped a lot, though I do miss the nice high-res textures on character models.
