choppy flash games


I have a vbulletin 3.6x forum using IBproarcade module with 200+ games. They all work fine, but during play it seems choppy. I've duplicated this in Firefox 2 (also in new profile) and also IE7. I'm trying to figure out why its choppy (on and off) on any game. Any ideas to trace this or enhance the performance? This is a personal server with a few domains on the box and not an enormous amount of traffic in general, nor at once.

Flash doesn't execute at the server level.

The problem is some combination of the following:

A) framerate of the flash video
B) Your video card
C) Your monitor / screen resolution

Nothing wrong with my video card.

Nvidia 8400M GT 256MB Dedicated / 1GB shared

1280x800 resolution / 32bit

This happens on ALL games anyway

No because you have to register to play anyway. Guests cannot play and new members cannot play right away until they made a few posts
