Hey whats sup all. I have a considerably good computer. Not great or anything, but I wanted to know what I might need to upgrade to keep from lagging so much. Here is some general information of my computer.

AMD 64 Sephron +3000 (2.0Ghz)
1.5GB Ram
256 MB Video Card
Cable Internet (400kbs average download rate)

Seems like have have some decent equipment. Im thinking I need a higher Processor. When I am able to run my Task Manager during the game. The CPU performance shows 100%. My ram only shows using 300-400MB. My internet connection seems higher then most. Is it suggested to get a better Processor and if so how much higher might I need to go?

A little more about my lag is. My mouse moves slowly accross the screen. Jumping inbetween movement. When Im around alot of monster or in a party where people are using a skill move my screen lags about 1sec during those high Graphic times. If more info is needed please let me know. Thanks.

That what you describe is not internet speed lag, it's slow game movement, which can be due to your un-updated video drivers. So be sure you update your video drivers.

well, my crappy pc can work pretty good, and belive me , my pc kinda suxx.. but still almost everything works rather good... amd duron 1300 MHz, 256 SDRAM, Gforce2, average internet connection, but still i dun have any problems running the game, and yea, it's prolly cuz of the video card driver

thanks Phoenix, Installing the Video Card took care of my problem. I installed my new video card a few days ago and forgot to install the CD driver. I see the game in a much better way. The graphics are very good and smooth. Thanks again.

also dave, besides updating your Video Card drivers I would recommend updating your DirectX drivers also.
