Suggestions to get rid of my lag

[Gunslanger]

we have derailed this thread (http://planetside-universe.com/forums/showthread.php?p=297756#post297756), so i decided to start a new one to aviod that thread in hopes of more opinions.

i am getting major lag in zergs, and considerable lag in medium battles. i have p4 2.53 gig, 64 meg geforce 4 card, and 512 DDRAM. oh, and we were talking about Virtual memory. advice? i dont know much about computers.

Upgrade to 1 gig of ram first, after that upgrade our video card. Ram will make the biggest difference.

And your internet connection, the faster the connection the less lag.

I'll second that. Increasing your RAM is inexpensive and does the most good for increasing fps for PS. I recently baught myself more RAM and I saw a dramatic improvement.

I wonder what sort of video settings you are using. What I did was select the Low settings which turns all the frills off and then selected the Custom setting which allowed me to increase my viewing distance to a comfortable level. At these settings I have good fps (around 30-35 on average) and even when it drops during the zergs it's still playable.

1000mhz PIII, 32mb Nividia, 512mb of RAM is all I have and I got no complaints if you can believe it. I've just got a real stable machine I guess.
