Try upgradeing your RAM to 512 or higher, if you want to play AO. This game loves to eat up memory. I have seen that the more memory you have and better Front side bus speed the smoother this game will run, heck even when I swaped out my 5400 rpm HD to a 7400 I noticed the game loading alot better. Which Reminds me of how hard I laughed when I reread the system Req's on the retail box.Originally posted by Fistgoddess
The problems with the lag and the droppage is not just in BS and 20k, it's everywhere. I can't stay in game for more than 2-3 minutes at a time without lagging or crashing. What gives??? I know the population has grown, but can't something be done about moving people to another server? If RK1 is overpopulated, then don't give it as a choice for new players starting the game.
My config is: 950mhz Athlon w/ Epox MB
256mb SDRAM pc 133
15gb HDD
GF2 MX400 graphics card
10/100 mbps lan card
Cable modem (AT&T)
Everything else on your comp looks great, just get yourself at least another 256 stick of RAM which should only cost $32 plus shipping at http://www.pricewatch.com/
Btw this is not a flame just trying to give helpfull advice.
