sounds like my system sucks, lol. i thought that might be it but was hoping i had just hit some rotten luck. oh well, while getting a new card isnt going to be a problem. i know next to nothing about computers so the annoying bit is finding one of my friends to hook it up for me. thanks for the help.

the minimum specs are windows 7, AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 4000+ or better, and an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor 2.0GHz or better. , 1.5GB, and for Windows Vista and Windows 7: 2GB. For PCs using a built-in graphical chipset, 2GB RAM recommended. i have windows 7, AMD Sempron 140 2.7GHz, 3.0GB(2.75 useable) ram so i should be ok. iv updated everything i can think of but unless im looking down the lag seems unbearable. while i know my internet connection is suckish, there was never much of a problem with mmo's(WoW ran perfectly smooth). just wondering if im missing something or is my system just not up for this game is what?
