I have no problems on my desktop either but have to admit that sometimes during a set it skips. I have switched some things to make it run better and little tweaks have improved perfomance. Do you use a playlist or do you just search your files in the first window ? If you have a large playlist in the second window this can be rather strenuous on the cpu.

Hmmm.... Well all i can say is that i have a Pentium II 450mhz with 64mg of Ram and it runs like a dream on mines....#

make sure you use MP3s encoded @ 128k or less for minimal CPU usage ...
 
mmmh, is UDMA66 for your HD activated.
Check it out. Try this:

Start/execute and type regedit

go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

SystemCurrentControlSetControlClass{4D36E96A-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}000

Ckeck out if EnableUDMA66 is set to 1.

Please tell us if it helps

Don't use MP3's less than 128kbps, because the sound quality is crap and it will give Atomix a bad name if anybody hears it....
 
No, for sure, never less than 128!!
 
Maybe it's all the Coke you've been doin. That shit falls in the key board and it's all over. Make sure you get it in your nose.
 
LOL James ! I will try what you said Janosch, but I really haven't had any problems so why mess with it. I really do think that windows has a role in this problem and that Atomix can't really do much to compensate for it. Try using smaller playlist and less video drivers resources (skins)

Ok then dont use Mp3's under 128kb then lol - remember i only got a small machine compared to you guys lol....
 
the bitrate the mp3 is encoded in shouldn't affect performance in playback. if it does in atomixmp3, then i don't know, maybe atomix engine is slow !
 
It doesnt affect on machines over 600 mhz - for some reason that is the passline....
 
I have AMD Athlon XP 1,8 GHz and I don't have such problemes!
AMD Rules!
P.S. It's because of your DDR SDRam.
My Friend Had such problems until he both usual.
