Bad internet connection? That's really all I could think of.

Slaying noobs since 2007.

Yep, sounds like internet is the problem, but you did fail to mention in what mode it is that you are playing on when this occurs.

Do you mean lag, as in your internet, when you can't move, or lag as in your computer slows down, and it looks like a slide show? If it's the first one, it's your internet. If it's the second one, I'd say it's your graphics card - it's 5 generations old!

Does lag also occur when you host a lan or play campaign?

A Radeon 7000 is a real old graphics card that doesnt support pixel shading. So he is forced to run -useff graphics by default. If its video lag hes complaining about, then the option is to just simply go out and buy a new graphics card. If hes talking about internet lag.....get a faster internet or get used to the lead...

Wow...you updated to a graphics card that barely surpasses the limits of an integrated chip...

Overall, get a graphics card, not a metallic chip from the hippies era (assuming you're talking about video lag).

HEY Hippie era was cool, can't state why here, but just watch Austin Powers, they mention some stuff about back then...
