Please can sombody advise......when i play a DivX movie the picture Lags behind the sound, it plays fine for about 2 seconds then freezes and then plays again for another 2/3secs then freezes again.....is there some kind of patch or some utility that can make it play on my machine? or have I set somthing up wrong or somthing?

It might be ya agp-port, that dosen't deliever the right amoughnt of data to ya video-card.

My specs. are:

k6-2 500
gigabyte ga5ax mainboard
winfast s325 32mb (tnt2 m64 agp)
and a 5400 rpm harddrive.

I switched my video-card with a creative pci tnt2 vanta with 32megs. After that, my system were able to play div-x with NO problem at ALL.

My only sollution is the following:
Try getting your self a creative geforce 2mx PCI.

As it seems that a lot of agp systems are NOT able to play div-x, as they don't deliever the right amount of data.

Bye for now, hope you can use this advice.
