Any ideas why I get stuttering when playing video games in window mode?

    Let's say I play a game in full screen with a 1280 X 1024 and I get around 30 FPS.

    Now I'd wish to play that game in window mode, like in 1024 X 768 so I'd get higher fps.

    But when I try window mode, even thought I get higher fps, I stutter every 2-5 sec.(when I go back and try fullscreen everything works fine)


    This is very annoying, happens on more than one game and I haven't found a way to fix this.

    I need your help people.
    Thanks alot.

    But to me, it makes no sense that when I play window mode in a smaller resolution(which should make the game less demanding) makes it stutter when fullscreen doesn't give me any stutter.
