When in 3D games my computer pauses for about a second every few minutes, alltho it seems to happen more in UT than other games (this occurs in LAN, net and single player). I think it maybe something to do with voodoo cards / glide drivers.

I have a k6-2 350mhz, voodoo 2, 128mb, SB 64PCI

but the same problem occurs in a
P3-733mhz, voodoo 3 3000, 256mb.

I am using Win98 first edition, voodoo2 reference drivers DirectX 7.0

However what confuses me is that another pc on the LAN works fine, it has exactly the same components and drivers as the k6-2 but is a P2-333Mhz. I havent noticed this problem in Direct3D games, but i usually only play glide/OpenGl games

Havent tried changing the memory swaping preferences yet, but i dont think that is the problem. My reasoning behind this is.
There is a P3-733mhz with 256mb of ram, and a K6-2 350mhz with 128mb, which both keep pausing but the P2-333mhz with 64mb of ram does not. Both the 333mhz and 350mhz are running in 640x480, both with the same sound card, the same 12mb voodoo2.
