Okay, I've got a Compaq Presario with a 2gig CPU & a 256meg RAM, and the game (UT GOTY v436) plays damned diddly fine on single player. But playing aginst bots ain't pickled onions, is it? 
Also got NVIDIA using Direct 3d.
Online however...I get a pongy ping of over 200 (on a popular server, others might be far worse) so I'm just being desomated by a shock combo before I even see the blue flash. I just can't compete =( Average of 30 frags a match on Face mind, depending on the pong.
I've noticed that an average ping is prolly around the 100 mark, so everyone else is thus twice as quick as me at using that Hollow Point Head Remover. Sometimes, I know I've took their head clean off, so ytf are they still shooting at me?? And once, when I had the enemy flag...TWICE I ran over my own flag to capture, but no...it wasn't fúcking there, was it? It was on my screen, but it just wasn't really there cos some fúck already had away with it. Then I drunk a six pack. Not of beer tho =( Hey...if it's an "Eightball", why does it only fire six, huh?
My connection is a 56k modem and a shîtty two month trial with AOL using a BT landline. Have I already acquired optimal conditions given my connection? Or is there any way I can decrease my ping?
AOL Live Help told me to set the UT process priority to "LOW", which did nothing except fart and create an added pong
Any help would be appreciated.
Anyone who does help...I'll let them in one of Facing World's secrets

Just remembered that one can customise the NVIDIA settings, so I'm gonna check them out, and if it helps rid of the lag, I'll be sure to notify the board And I'm going to test different video settings (1:30pm on 3/4/4).
Which has totally fúcked up the graphics. I think I might have deleted a driver, you know That's not the reason for the initial lag, btw (8:20pm 4/4/4).
