It's from a warvid that was recorded at 6 or 8 fps. It's really all I can do playing on my Pentium 2 and even 6 to 8 fps hangs up my game a little (like at 2:33 in this vid).

lol why do u play on a pentium2 man
i mean
i give away amd_xp and celeron junk all the time.
along with 1gb and 2gb ddr1 rams...
bet you could get at least a pentium4 with 2gb for $50 bux :P

Dude Pentium 2...wtf you have no house or something?

It feels different playing on any other computer for me and I usually play about 25% slower. I've tried a pentium 3, a pentium 4, dual core, and quad. I used to think it was the operating system but it seems to be the processor. If I took a huge break from the game and then started playing on another computer I'd probably get used it.

this is interesting
and what OS do you use? dead curious
Windows 98?
you see...
about 9 years ago, right when i started in RU
i was gaming with an amd xp 2000 and 2gb ram
and i would have this issue, called hardware lag.. or thats what i called it anyway.
sometimes the... a lag would appear, and i could feel it it was me causing it, the computer itself lagged, and thus i lagged everyone else in the game. (it would last between 10-15 seconds, and would happen every 30 or 45mins.)
Back then, i even made multiple threads on the occult regarding this hoping to get a feedback that would resolve it.. tried dozens of things,i formated countless times, tried this and that and nothing worked, changed harddrives (thinking maybe there was a bad sector somewhere) even got myself another same-level-cpu computer, a pentium celeron, and the same thing would happen.
It really got me fed up, resolved that war2, for some reason would need a better computer, maybe it was windowsxp newest updates that caused it... dunno.
it wasnt until i upgraded to a core2duo that i got rid of the problem.

It probably has more to do with War2 eating up CPU cycles. Add to that more running processes in the background, they would fight for CPU time. It is also possible that after x amount in time, your CPU would 'throttle' as war2 stresses your CPU core.
You seem to have a 'bad sector' fetish. Each time you post about it, its really funny because 99.9% of the time, it will almost certainly NOT be a bad sector issue :)
