Stutter

[Juryiel]

So I just got level 18 on my bard, and in standard bard fashion I decided to learn AoE kiting so I can lay claim to entire zones. Unfortunately, EQ seems to stutter every so often. This has been happening since I installed it, regardless of whether stuff is going on on the screen or zones are empty (I only kite late at night as to not be annoying to others). I tried with or without WinEQ2, different resolutions and a variety fo graphic settings, but to no avail. The stutter is brief, but just long enough to where if I'm doing a tight circle to dot a mob, they will hit me. Any help would be appreciated.

My computer is a fairly new (few months) gaming laptop (Geforce 770M, 12G ram, etc) so I'm not sure what's going on. I didn't have this stutter when I played live on my old PC in like 2005. Any help with settings would be appreciated.
