[minny]

for the last few days my computer has been laggy with playing W3, and videos... now i use Nvidia G-force 2 eww i knew how to update on a american computer but everything on my computer is korean..so i cant read all the technical words cause i dont know em... i've done a virus check, adware cleaning, syster error checking, defrag, ect.. help me plz??? can someone guide me through updating drivers?
does running zone alarm and or anti virus scanner make you lag?

Running anti-virus scanning during games will cause LAG and having too many programs at once will cause LAG. I need to know what your OS platform is, I think I can help you fix the korean problem. Post specs too ^_^

If you're running a virus scanner while doing anything else, you're gonna lag bad. That uses a lot of processor power. Not to suggest a nubbish, easy solution to insult you, but is there a lot of processes running on startup?

Now your a vulnerable target with a shitty graphics card.

lol.... Is the common response to every problem with computers to "Get new RAM" or is it just me..?

It so happens that it's just you.
