Believe me i tried everything.
Has anyone ever found a solution that actually WORKED?!
I have 128 MB of video ram and 512 ram, this game should run fine.

What stuttering problem??? its probly just your pc specs, you need a high spec pc to run this, yours sounds low-mid range

It sure as hell won't run fine with 512MB of ram and any ordinary video card with 128MB. The MB of a video card isn't all that matters.

what graphics card do you have???

Geforce 5200 fx 128MB
I know its not the best, but im pretty low on money.
Its a lot better then what i used to have!
piece of shit Intel...

oh, and the studdering problem with sound, changing weapons and going into new areas.
other then that, the game runs perfect.

its still a piece of shit im afraid, you really want something a hell of alot better, that 5200 card is better used as a paper weight! have a look on ebay, you could get a 2nd hand mid range card like an ATI x600 for £20, thats my old card type, ran HL2 fairly well.

yeah i know lol. i tweaked the hell out of my computer, believe me.
ive been meaning to buy a new one in the summer
When i have money
and a job...

Well if you do get around to buying a card, try www.scan.co.uk, I got my ATI X1950 PRO 256mb card for £130 and i recommend 1GB of RAM try www.crucial.co.uk for that.

Or you could do what I did. Get a dual core pc with 768mb 8800GTX graphics card and 4GB of ram.

Then you'll be able to play CRYSIS when it comes out, probably at full specs. And that game should make HL2 look like crap in comparison.

Wouldn't be cheap though.

I'd say your main problem is the 512MB of RAM causing your studdering. Especially if you have a sloppy operating system using 400+MB before you even open the game. Add another 512MB to that. Also, the 5200 is weak. Not disrespecting your system, just stating the facts. I had an FX5600 a long time ago and couldn't stand it for over 2 weeks. I went ahead and bought a 9800PRO after that, lol. BTW, a 9800PRO can play HL2 maxed out with full anti-aliasing @ 1280x1024 VERY SMOOTHLY. A 7600GT can do even better... and from there on, it's all about how much you want to spend.

i just realized i spelled "studdering" wrong.
its "stuttering"
i know i know
see, im from new jersey
instead of "water" we say "wader"
are "t's" become "d's"
"did you eat?" - "jew eat?" "no, did you?" - "nah d'jew?"
yeah lol
thats that garden state for ya!
