Ah yes, I am running the Promise drivers rather than those included in WinXP.

For the TX2 RAID controller these are 2.0.0.26

I dont get it. If I use XPs default driver, it 50%+ cpu utilization but no stuttering in mp3's. However if I use the 34 promise winXP driver I get 13% cpu utilization but stuttering while playing mp3's What the hell

You might want to try sending Promise Tech support an e-mail.

I've had dealings with them in the past (Issues with a TX4 RAID controller) and they have always been very helpful - they actually do know what they are talking about.
