HL 2 runs choppy.

[Rumpleforeskin]

Hey guys, just got HL2 and installed it. When i play in singleplayer or multiplayer, the game will run fine for a few seconds, and then chop a bit, then run fine again. I run on 1072 setting (second to highest) with everything up to high for model and texture detail. I tried turning it down to medium but got the same prob.

System SPecs - 3.4 processor
2 gigs of ram
Geforece 6800 Ultra

My system runs battlefield 2 and Doom 3 fine on higher details. Any ideas?

Thanx

Do you have onboard sound? Stuttering is usually audio related.
