i need help, okay?
i'm lagging worse than ever. it's horrible. if i hit one of the arrow keys, five seconds later, it will respond.
here's my system info...
using windows xp, dell dimension DIM2400 intel(R) celeron(R) CPU 2.40GHz, 512MB RAM.
using AOL for broadband (cable) to connect.
...so WHAT IS WRONG?!
this is terribly frustrating!
system meets reccomended requirements, but still lags?

I don't have the game info right here, but offhand, it's probally your Celeron.

What video card do you have? That may be it...
Arvydas
i believe its video card, since my work computer is much better than my home computer but it lags at work.
connection my cause this too, but i doubt it.

woah, i bet it IS the videocard!!
it gave me a message saying "your videocard sucks, do you want to continue?" something to that extent.
i'll go check the card, now...

you may not like your picture but you do not get multisecond delay on a graphics issue
somewhere in your connection is the problem more likely

nothing for 5 seconds and then the input command happens

sooooo what are my options?

That card is not even 3D accelerated...
You need someone with more power under the hood.
A GeForce FX5200 or Radeon 9250 should be ok if money is an issue... Be sure that your computer supports AGP before purchasing those...
If you have more budget, you can probable get an higher end model.

A 9250 will run the game? Doubtfully. Try a 9600.

currently, i'm still living with the parents (about to go into college) & i don't think (okay, KNOW) they'd pay for a video card that i would be the only one using.
so yeah, money is an issue.

Who the hell buys computers with integrated onboard graphics? 
I suggest you go buy a new video card, you could get one for fairly cheap. I'm using a 5900XT (pretty old) and runs pretty good. I also recommend you to ditch your celeron and get an Athlon 64, or P4 (ATLEAST 3ghz) as you're truly behind.
