| 106171 | 2002-12-18 02:50:00 | So when I play Quake 3 with all settings on high and the resolution the same as my desktop resolution, and the game goes incredibly slow, that's not lag? :^O Most people refer to that as lag, which is why I said "most people" in my post. I also said 'most people refer to "problems with the mouse sensitivity" as "lag"' because I thought that what Tim was actually experiencing was what I, and many other people, refer to as "lag". |

| 106172 | 2002-12-18 02:52:00 | Tim, for some reason the processor people like to give the maximum rate and not the recommended one. If you run it at maximum it might run out of juice, or overheat. If you run it at recommended it will give you the best results per cycle. Some people do overclock their CPU's and find it is worth while, but the manufacturer has it set at a pretty good speed. To enter your BIOS, you may need to press one of a few keys. First try Esc Then try F1 .............F2 .............F3 etc........... It could be any of them. If the first one doesn't work, reboot and try again. radz:p |

I thought I'd broken it, turns out AMD Athlon XP's default to that, as I spoke to a few others and they said the same thing, once Id actually figured it out for myself... wasnt much help, but yeah, check in the BIOS! |

| 106175 | 2002-12-18 03:14:00 | It might be called Ram Frequency or something similar. You will see it says 100Mhz somewhere, that can be changed to 133 and there's also another setting too. Try just going through systematically, starting at the top of the left column (If your BIOS has the same layout as mine, should do....) and working your way down, then go to the top of the right column. Dont worry, you'll get it easy enough. |

That's not lag. Re-read what nzStan said. Every year millions of lemmings throw themselves of cliffs. Because so many of them do it, it must be a good idea? |

LOL no. That is not lag. We call that under-performance, lack of grunt, under-powered, not up to spec etc etc (and those are the nice terms we use). Lag is known as the plague of online gaming. It is the slowness/latency of your data connection. The higher your ping, the more likely you will 'lag' during online games. If others see you with a 1000+ ping in their game, they call you a 'lagger'. Someone who is lagging will be hard to hit, and will usually cause other players to experience lags as well. Take for example, if you play Battlefield 1942 on 56K modem. You'll play reasonably alright on 16 players servers. But if you play on a 32 or 64 players server, your game will become laggy, because the data from 32 or 64 players cannot reach your PC in time. So your game begin to stutter (ie lag). If you play BF1942 offline and it still behaves like a 64player session, then your PC is not up to spec to play the game. |

| 106178 | 2002-12-18 03:33:00 | Anything over 250ms and you're considered to suffer from Lag. I was transferring some files between my two PC's (Before I upgraded the switch from 10MBPS to 100) while playing UnrealTournament, and the lag was around 300ms, I found it unbearable, trying to hit a played who'd left the position over 1/4 second ago, that's a sniper's screen length 3-4x over! nzStan is right, its commonly known as an "Ageing" system that "Has not got enough Grunt" to run the game :) Either that, or the mouse is buggered |
