    Hi there, I just found out this website after 3 months with my M17. I can't figure out why it stutters when I play movies, youtube and gaming. I look tru this forum and many people say that it happen to all quad core cpu. I'm using Q9000 now, I wonder if I downgrade it to duo core, will it solve all the problems ? Please help, Thanks

    Start from making sure your drivers sequence is correct, your using the B14 bios, if you have both of those correctly then its up to you :)
