I lag, so I have an extremely n00b question.

I have a cable modem, and when there's not a lot of action going around, I go around just smoothly. But if I'm in a facility or something, I'll lag a LOT.

Now, is there any way to reduce lag? At all? I don't know any ways at all to do so.

When you run Planetside close ALL programs before you log on.

When your in-game, put your video settings on low.

Get more RAM, I have DSL with 512 RAM and I still lag pretty bad sometimes.

yes. optimal ram is 512, but i would suggest 1gb. it runs much smoother. and the lag may be either the programs your running behind it, or it may just be your area. Cable lag is depended on how many people use cable in your area. You may be unlucky. If that is the case, and you lag really bad, dsl would be best.
