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.
