I can't stand it anymore. I hate it. Everyone on the internet hates it. It happens, and people don't really know about it. From my knowledge of the world of I.T. lag is used as a short word for falling behind, and is used in computer terms for an application not responding instantly, it happens. But what I'm sick of seeing is on every PMC server post, or many game forums, is "I'm lagging and I have an alienware" sorry, but that's not the problem. Lag is not and can not be affected by the type of computer you have. Those big, powerful gaming pc's (much like my chillblast) aren't about minimizing lag, it's your INTERNET and your PING. For example, my internet speed is very good, I haven't got many files taking up too much space on this pc, and I play on servers that are closer to me, so because I'm closer to the server box and my internet is very fast, so I have (usually) a maximim ping of 5 or 6.
