I am running the game on a Radeon 9700 Pro / 2.53 GHz / 512 RAM / WinXP Pro
machine and I don't have the stutter problem.

The only thing I can think of is to make sure you don't have processor or
disk intensive tasks (like anti-virus, P2P software, etc.) running in the
background when you play the game.
