Ok, i have a liddul doubt here.

Recently i have formated my hdd, it is clean n brightnow, with only DAOC, emule, messenger and IRC installed.
My pc configuration is:

Abit KR7A
768mb DDR Kingston
AMD XP1700+ @ 2000+
GForce 4 ti4200 128DDR
Windows XP Pro


As u can see, although this is not a topnotch comp, it should handle DAOC no probs. At least it did with SI.
However, i have realised that with the new ToA graphics, the game doesnt run as smoothly as it used. Looks like a bit gfx laggy when it comes to load some ToA zones like cities and encounter zones.
Im using Detonator 41.09 drivers atm. I have tried with 53.03 (forceware) but i havent noticed any performance increase. And i play with medium gfx options (5 nearest shadows, no precache, etc..)

I would like to know if my problem is related with drivers of gcard, or if its just that my comp is not enuf l33t to run ToA at its best.

with 756 of memory precache all skins that will help lots. i run 512 and precache i have almost no lag.
also try a ram cleaner freeramxp pro is great (get from www.downloads.com)
and i have said it before and i wm sure i will say it again:

i run anticrash, hare and zoom and it makes thing run nicely. the programs also sort out your registry and the drivers (so they run on a need only basis so you have more system resources).

there are plenty of places to find "copies of the full version" on the net as the trial only runs for 20 trys.

(btw don't bother with battery doubler (unless you have a laptop) and juggle mouse)

also a lil tip don't have anticrash enabled when running DAoC it keeps trying to fix it and fails. there is an option to disable it

remember serials 2000 are your friend http://www.serialz.to/s2kupdates.html
