What are the other specs for your computer? Processor? RAM?

What games are you trying to play? That card is ~old~ but it should play any game of the same vintage. It will *not* play new high-end games.

Yes, your specs would help. But, 16MB is pretty old. The newer ones are like 64MB. You should get a better video card. If it is lag, then you will need to explain what "my ping boost badly" means, because I'm confusalated.
