    I've noticed in some single-player games I get a slight stutter. Like the game and audio will freeze for about 0.5-1second. This happens mostly online but I think it's because of my terrible internet connection. I've noticed it happen in a few games (Homefront, Crysis 2). I'm not sure if it's the 5870m's that are causing it or my SSD.

    I ran a crystaldiskmark and noticed that my write speeds are pretty low, not sure if this will cause a problem. My WEI score also shows 6.5. Does this mean I have a faulty SSD?
