Hello, I got a question that is when you are playing some game, like WCIII, or C&C Generals. You have let say two or three computer enemies against you. And just when the enemies is about to attack you..You could get that LAG, but there is the "fog" hidding all ur enemies..you are only seeing ur base and such..and the question is. Is that because there is a lot of activity behind the fog? and you CPU can't handle that fast at this much of work? Or something else? Thanks. Thomas

Lol. Thats called the 'shroud'
You cant see over the black surface becuase you haven't been to that place yet! Move further into the darker places and the undiscovered parts of the map will be revealed.

Hmm, if the video card is AGP i dunno wat the prob could be. Cause my friend has a MX440 and it runs fine.
You mite wanna run some tests for spyware on ur comp. Also try disabling programs running in the taskbar before u play it.

Oh, Maybe it's the video card problem mainly, because i believe the CPU is not that old, but video card could really shows its age in just a year or two nowadays=)
