blurriness/choppiness in Q3

This is a discussion about blurriness/choppiness in Q3 in the Windows Games category; I recently moved from 98SE to Win2K. It's a great OS and games run fine for the most part except for a choppiness and bluriness that occurs when i strafe/move the mouse at the same time in games like Half Life/Q3.

I recently moved from 98SE to Win2K. It's a great OS and games run fine for the most part except for a choppiness and bluriness that occurs when i strafe/move the mouse at the same time in games like Half Life/Q3. My refresh rates are maxed out and my mouse sample rate is at 200hz. Games are still playable but it hurts the eyes to see the choppiness as I move the mouse.
 
My system:
P3 800EB
Geforce 2 GTS
128mb PC133
SB Live!
6.62 WHQL Drivers.
Abit VH6 (Apollo Pro 133A)
I know I need more ram, but I don't think that is the problem because I dont get the bluriness just strafing on it's own.

add at least 64MB more, that should clear up the problem. Try VIA's updates as well.

OP
I am already using 4.28 drivers, and all those settings recommended have been. Mouse is set to smooth. Im not sure that it's a ram problem because the bluriness isnt associated with a hard drive hit or anything. Gonna add more ram anyways and try the 6.67 drivers and hopefully that improves some of it.
