    I haven't played (or been here) for a long long time. Since last I played I added RAM (up to 256) and got a larger monitor. Now I can see and I don't have the slowdowns in towns. It's like a whole new game.
    And I guess I learned some new tricks from playing other games because I'm an archer now and it's a killer character (literally as well as figuratively). This is the first game that I've been able to make an archer work right. - Edythe

    Viedeo RAM is the key to avoiding the lag bug.

    Archers do a LOT more dammage than gunslingers, don't they.

    Archers sure do do a lot of dammage. With the right bow I swear I can level up every 10 minutes if I run into the right group, and sneak up on them so I can pick off one at a time. I think I go through with just the dog if I wanted to. - Edythe

    you know the location in vendihgroth where all teh spiders come up from the ground where they are digged in at once.... boy, this lagged... it took me quarter a hour until I reached the fucking door going down to the dungeon...

    Now I have a 1.3Ghz and 384 MB RAM :D

    Ha, got you all beat. AMD 2.1, 1/2 gig memory, ATI All-In-Wonder with 128 meg viedo RAM. :D

    But then there is the other system. AMD 1.2, 3/8 gig, but a 4X AGP on board video chip with only 8 meg video memory & no way to allocate more. There are streets in Tarant I just don't walk down on that one. :(
