For a little test, you can set all the settings on low to see if you still have lag. If so, then theres something wrong with video card or ram, and you should always make sure you have updated video card drivers.

If it doesn't lag on low, work your way back up to medium to find the problem.

yeah make sure you're not stressing that X1650 too hard.

[friguy0]

Sounds like you have a bad network connection. Try update your network drivers. You can also tweak your network connection using CableNut to improve the speed or use WinSock XP Fix to reset the connection to its default settings (as it may have been changed. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't recommend cablenut to anyone... want to tweak the TCP/IP stack.. use TCP Optimizer... google it.

[friguy0]

alright but what exactly does this tcp optimizer do?

It is a ultility for optimising you internet connection, to get the best speed/stability from your internet connection. It is more user friendly than CableNut.


WinSock XP Fix - this resets your connection to default XP settings. So you can reverse any changes you make.
