Lag tips

[Eclipse_Hope]

Hello
My system meets the minimum system requirments for Wow but I always seem to haver type of lag at some time. My interent connection is really good usually at 41ms. I also put all the video options to the lowest setting.
Now, I was wondering if this might be becuase the connection is faster then my CPU or becuase there to many players on screen.
Just want tips on lowering my lag

:ufo <-- this dude is EVIL

could be lots of spyware on your computer and unneeded junk, should scan for that.

Got to myComputer, add/remove programs, and see what you don't use. Sort by how much you use everything. If it says "rarely", or "never", it would be a good idea to get rid of it.

Scan for viruses. Make sure no toher windows are open when playing.

Hope that helps a bit.
