I hope to god you don't think 150fps is lagging!?
I have a X1900XTX and I can run it on full w/ AA and AF. So if you have a decent processor and ram you should be fine.

I'm assuming your not overclocking and you have the card installed right...
What are your computer specs?

Also, one of the problems I had with lagging was my audio setup. Once I installed a sound card and turned off the onboard audio, my lagging stopped. I can run everything at high except aa and af and I have a X850XT agp card. I'll have to check my fps though.

That's because your sound card has a core of its own, the onboard sound uses your processor...
Sorry, if you already knew that, just thought I'd explain it.

Yeah I knew that long ago but didn't want to put out for a card. i tried the M-audio card figuring that since they make great digital audio cards for the music industry that they would have a great gamers card, but I was wrong. It was nice sounding 7.1 audio, but was not a great performer for games. Finally broke down and baught an audigy2 ZS card and have not regretted it although the m-audio card sounds better for digital media IMO.

Every game but bf1942 bf2 or any bf game for that matter, ran great. It was just the detailed sounds on those games that brought my system to a grind.

What resolution are you running? And also, by lag you mean the game itself is choppy not your internet connection right? Because if you have midrange or :shudder: dailup, that would make you lag in Bf2 no matter what computer you've got.

Check what programs you have running in the background. Close all browsers and messenger programs as well as music programs such as iTunes.

Also you will see performance losses when in windowed mode.

Maybe make sure that your wirless connection is running at 54Mbps. Just because your router and card support 54Mbps doesn't mean they are running at it.

Try playing some single player rounds of BF2 and see how they run.

150fps is good. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

The 2ms lcd screen makes no difference as most people can't tell the difference between 12ms and 2ms screens.

What type of ram do you have?

Finally check that the PCI-E slot is set to 16x.

Edit: Also what type of HDD do you have and how is it conneted to your mobo SATA, IDE etc.

Woah, I think you got everything that could be wrong!
