Beavis,
Some Experience the dropouts, while others don't. In my personal Experience with hoster, I don't see any drop outs anymore.
I did in the beginning, until I looked for the cause. a couple of things I have found was checking the system INfo, and see if the sound and the video cards are on the same irq. In my case I had the agp (video), sound and raid controller on the same irq. Changing the irq in the Bios, and swapping card slots, took care of 90% of the problems. I also found that If I turn off direct draw on the direct x It improves a lot. lastly, and most important. The page file size should be set to the same size. ie: if you set the minimum for 512 mg set the max the same. it will make a lot of difference.
I don't recommend things like this to computer neophytes, Because they can inadvertently screw things up. but they took care of all my problems.
I ran 2.014 - 2.127 with no drops. But as I said all computers and components are not created equal.
