In-game stuttering of units

[A Fistful Of Dollars]

It seems that when I scroll over on the battlefield it stutters and stops every few seconds like a real quick freeze. Same for when units are moving they move a bit then they freeze real quick and its just not smooth. I have AA disabled and I'm using my graphics card for it, I tried putting unit detail on high no difference. I have all the setting maxed out.

I am using Troy Total War mod, I have a Intel Core 2 Duo at 1.86ghz, 3.25gb of ram, and an Ati Radeon HD 5700 Series GPU. Can you guys please help me out, I just want to be able to play nice and smoothly and enjoy the game.

Oh also, I tried setting the game process to high priority and setting the affinity to one core since I know that Rome isn't muti-threaded and I thought it could possibly be the game changing between cores that is causing the stutter. But that was not the case.

~Thanks in advance

Do you have that problem when playing vanilla (not Troy)? Also, have you cleaned out your computer? My computer was *very* bad like that, moving at 3x speed with that stuttering problem until my uncle took a hand-vac on reverse to it and blew out all the dust that was clogging up the fans. Works fine now.
