Re: AMD Athlon 64 3700+ Single Core Need more power?

I have never found a CPU to play Quicktime without stuttering - no matter what CPU I have ever had (every 3-5 years I rebuild my PC with a upper level CPU).

My guess it would be a setting that causes this in Quicktime or the OS and not the CPU, as mine can run WMP or Real Player just fine...

Ever think it might be your videocard as opposed to the CPU? If you have a crappy videocard, you will probably have crappy framerates, regardless of what you are doing (i.e. quicktime, games, winamp, etc...).

Could you post the rest of your system specs? It could also be a ram limitation too, how much ram do you have?
