    It's not you, it's your pc. Might need to upgrade the cpu, ram, or vid card.

    Then maybe the Cpu or RAM. BTW it doesn't have 1GB of RAM, it uses up to 1GB of ram for the graphics. Common misconception. DDR3 isn't really anything great in most cases anyways. I'd stepup through nvidia to the 9800gtx+ or something, even though it's of the 9x family, it's not the best. Could make a huge diff.b:victory

    How much ram does it have? i prefer it to use more so it can pre-render more

    Like all graphic cards, it doesn't have any RAM. The 9800 GTX+ uses 2 Gigs I thought, but apparently the 9500 used 512mbDDR2 and up to 512mbDDR3 on 9800. I may just not be finding the exact cards, but they here are some good comparisons... Also, it is a LOT more powerful than the 9500, and only $200. (Cheaper if u step up, you pay the difference). The only thing you'd have to worry about is it's size, it's like 14" long and like 4 inches wide. You should have pci2 slots.

    nVidia GeForce 9500 GT
    * 550MHz core clock
    * 32 stream processors
    * 1,400MHz
    * 512MB GDDR2, 256MB or 512MB GDDR3 RAM
    * 128-bit memory interface
    * 500MHz (DDR2) or 1.6GHz (DDR3) memory clock



    nVidia GeForce 9800 GTX+
    * 738MHz core clock
    * 128 stream processors
    * 1,836MHz
    * 512MB GDDR3 RAM
    * 256-bit memory interface
    * 2.2GHz memory clock

    It is a hell of alot faster, I could play DirectX 10 games np on my 24" screen. I'd even play AoC on DirectX 10 in test servers on our bigscreen, like 50inch or something.
    What kind of CPU and RAM you have?? You basically have very little limitations on gaming for $200 or less, I paid $40 for mine brand new. Stepped up from 8600GT xD

    EDIT: Btw the newer family, Gtx 2XX, it isn't exactly better, just is better in case of PhsyX (Game physixs) and shading. Other than that the 9800 is better (GTX+ ). That's all mainly for Crysis and detailed DX10 games.

    That is not lag. Lag = network latency.
    It's a framerate dip.. or a framerate stall.
    My cleric is unplayable as of late thanks to framerate stalls in Arch.

    It's not the trees that make my viewer tank, though, I'm sure. It's those cursed cat shops. -_-

    Actually, when you fly through trees your character slows down, as to avoid getting hit by the branches.

    It's not lag.
    No hiding in room 32 NPC.

    b:bye
