Re: HDTV stuttering

You should use the 72.14 MCE drivers from the NVIDIA Website (suggest you
also download the display users manual from the same download page),
especially since these drivers support NVIDIA Pure video functionality when
used with a 6600 card and the 1.0.67 DVD Decoder.
Your stuttering problem should be eliminated since the graphics processing
power of the 6600 GT far exceeds that of the 9550.
