    Hey there,

    I have a problem with my 1810tz. There seems to be sth wrong with the USB I guess... when the usage of the HDD or the CPU (i can't really tell because most of the time it's both) is high, the mouse is beginning to stutter. It's like the system freezes for 1 sec, then it works 1 sec and then freezes again etc. Everytime when I start a movie with windows movie player for example, or when windows is refreshing the details in a file window...

    A similar problem appears with my USB sound card as well as my usb tv card, although it's much much less often here.

    I thought there shouldn't be a problem with that since DMA and double core cpus were introduced ;)

    Any ideas where I could start searching for the error?
