I experience speed fluctuations when playing mp3 on a brand spanking new
Dell 4550 with a Pentium4 CPU at 2.53 and 768MB of RAM.
This is very anoing and I could get winamp to go around the problem. This
never happen on my other computer , and Athlon at 1.4Ghz with 500MB. Is this
a problem specific to Pentium computers ?

Nope. I've used both WinAmp and Media Player on my 4550 and both are rock
steady. What's running in the background?

Found the problem
I installed a new harddrive and the BIOS setting was OFF .
As a result the new Harddrive was working in PIO mode not DMA
and slowing down the whole system.
I figured that , changed the setting to Automatic and now I have excellent
playback.

I want to know how you were able to set the Bios to automatic setting. I> Found the problem

F2 to get into settings. Scroll down the drive will say off. Press the
space bar until it says auto. F10 and save.

I had the same problem on my 4550. I forgot you had to make this change
(kind of stupid, since the BIOS could autorecognize).
Amazing performance difference.
