Network lag or Client slow down?

[MunchkinCE]

Mythic (US) states in their FAQs that latency/lag experienced in RvR can be down to a number of causes ranging from network lag to client slowdown from the graphics engine.

I have a top end athlon system with a nice fast ADSL line and find it most odd that I am still getting lag/slow down in RvR.
The network appears fine, so I am looking at system specs to see if a faster system (overclocked P4 maybe) will solve it.

Given the rate at which euro servers get patched, I am cannot be arsed to wait for the new game engine in the expansion.

So, please could anyone who doesnt get lag/slow down in large RvR (50-60 players+) please post their system spec and Internet connection speed please? (you can brag if you want )

Items of interest are:

CPU type and speed
Motherboard & front side bus speed
RAM type & speed
Graphics card
Hard drives above 7,200 speed
Internet connection speed (up and down).

I really want to get rid of this performance problem and if it means a new Intel system, then so be it!

Sorry to say this, but getting a faster system/more bandwidth won't help you in the least bit. The game engine sucks and until it is changed the fastest graphics card won't keep you in high frame rates in large RvR encounters. And overclocking a system to gain more speed in games is a joke, people do it only to gain a 0.001% increase (..or just about) in benchmarks basically.

basically the graphics engine ind DAOC sucks and blows all at the same time at the moment.

when the expansion pack comes out they are upgrading from version 0.0000002 to about 4.X so there will be a lot more it can do and will be better alround for everyone...
