Vista freezes for a few seconds from time to time

Once in a while Windows Vista Home Premium will freeze for a short while
(about 10 seconds or so) and then resume everything. I cannot figure out how
this happens exactly but maybe someone can give me a list of things to check
for. Here's my configuration:

AMD Athlon X2 3800 (Manchester Core)
2 GB Memory (2 x 1 GB sticks, PC2700)
250 GB Western Digital Hard Drive (7200 RPM, EIDE connection)
DFI Infinity NF4 SLI Motherboard
NVidia Geforce 7600 GT (not running in SLI mode, as I only have one card)

Some software that I was using when this happens:
* Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
* Microsoft Zune

The anti-virus program I have is Grisoft AVG.

I had this problem for ages. What solved it for me was configuring DNS
correctly.
TCP/IP Properties --> DNS
