New system always has choppy video and stuttering audio playback

It does sound like a hard drive issue, doesn't it...I wouldn't say it's a graphics issue at all, as Vegas doesn't depend on the card for its processing. (However, a driver issue can cause general system instability.)

What I would do, and what you should do anyway--even if it doesn't fix this problem--is buy an EIDE hard drive, 7200 rpm and use it as your system drive. Then you can re-initialize the RAID 0. Use the Promise RAID configuration tool at startup--if your mobo has onboard RAID controller (I think it does).

The RAM preview setting doesn't affect general timeline playback. It only increases your buffer if you want to do a dynamic RAM preview, which is a temporary render to RAM
