sort that out first
update firmware, try drivers again, they have to work...
a generic cdrom driver won't help you much.

if that doesn't help, I would suspect your processor... its kind of slow, I know a lot of people recommend a dual core at least to handle HD...

The new beta drivers from nvidia won't do much for the stuttering to help you, its either a problem with the drive/driver config or your processor lagging behind

your video card is fine, its the same one I have, and I don't have any stuttering problems,
only one time did I have a hiccup, and it was when two tv shows started recording at once, and the harddrive was asleep and spun up, not sure why that affected it, but it did, after that and since its been smooth sailing...

You are correct about the processor - The slowest processor that I have seen do BD is a 3.4 single core (with minimum studder). The Core2Duo's handle BD very well.
