    When I play COD4 multiplayer the game runs great for a round or so but soon starts getting a nasty control stutter (if straifing left when the half second or so stutter starts I keep straifing left. Mouse freezes during stutter, too.) Once the stuttering starts the other players movement starts gets very choppy, too (their movement jumps around and is much harder to follow or shoot) My framerate stays locked at 60 (vsync is on), so I don't think its the 8600ms crapping out on me.

    I've got the latest drivers for the nvidia cards running. I keep the laptop on a cooling pad when playing games and I don't have this problem in the single player version. Any ideas?

    It turns out the problem is a known one with the WLAN config service. The stutter is gone when I run off an ethernet cable rather then wireless. Unfortunately I can't get the intel config tool to work so I can't use wireless without reenabling the service.
