Faster computer - why the lag?
J. M. Pescado:
Is the "new operating system" Vista? Because that would be why. Vista chews up 75% of your RAMs, so unless you have at leat 8 GBs of RAMs, it's pointless to even consider using it. Even Microsoft think it's crap. It's ME all over again.
Dragon Slave:
Yeah, it's vista. ::) I had a bad foreboding about it way before I switched, and one of the first things I noticed was all the crap system services running in the background. I shut most of them down before playing, always. But I don't know if it really makes a difference :-\ For now, the change in game resolution seems to fix the lag problem, though sometimes, when I go back to the game after minimizing it, there's a lag I can't get rid of.
Yeah, I've seriously considered switching back to xp... but won't it only be a matter of time before Vista takes over all together? I feel like it's something I'm gonna have to inevitably accept, now or later. :-\
witch:
Not necessarily, you could hang on to XP until the OS after Vista comes out. Much like I did for ME.
KatEnigma:
There's no reason to go to Vista. I ran 98 until XP SP1. I will run XP until something comes out that won't make me want to toss the computer out the window.
J. M. Pescado:
Vista is so utterly crap that things that were originally dedicated Vista exclusives that weren't even supposed to run on XP...run better when hacked to run on XP. Vista = CRAP. Go back to XP!
