[kmccue100]

Hey, I have all my settings on low and my sight range set at 50% and im still getting lag!
my stats are:
DSL: dl speed = 300<
Vid card: Radeon x700;http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16814131307
Ram: 1gb ram (pc2700) 2 256mb ram and a 512mb
Processor: 2.6 GHZ Celeron
Motherboard: Gigabite; http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16813128285

The motherboard is socket 478 and i have 3 ram slots to work with, what can i upgrade so i can at least play at medium settings?

Re: Still lagging

The problem is the Celeron and the 128k of L2 cache it has.

Re: Still lagging

It's a lot better than what you have, make sure your board supports it though and get some extra cooling for it, those Prescotts run HOT.
Personally if you have the money go for an AMD64 setup, a board and 3200 Venice should cost you around the same as that 3.0 prescott.
