Question by jm: How can I lower lag in games?
Please refrain from laughing cuz I know you want to
My system is:
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 2.19GHz
1.25 GB RAM
Geforce 8400GS 256MB
Windows XP Professional SP3

I tried to play Call of Duty 4, but I lagged miserably. Can anybody give me suggestions on what I need to upgrade, to run on low settings or even medium?
