Ahh, sorry to bump up this thread, while you guys were trying to help me, I was doing some stupid 9 week truck driving courtesy of the local military, and practically get out of camp only 1 day a week.
I happened to have the good luck of needing a pc for my sister, and so got to upgrade to an i7 860. Still using the same old 4870 512MB, same HDD, PSU. Dragon age stuttering problem gone! Also, I completed Mass effect, which I stopped playing in 2008 due to stuttering and lag.
Most games run very smoothly now (same fps, but smoother, if it makes any sense?). Gonna keep the 4870 for awhile more!
Glad to see I was right, and a new cpu would breathe new life into a trusty RV770.
