the problem is you are using a PCI video card, which shares the PCI bus with the other cards on the bus such as your soundblaster card, etc. not too mention the performance of a PCI card will be a lot worse than an AGP card of the same specs. Dell strikes again!!!!

next time, make sure to get a motherboard with an AGP port. also, the term 'lag' doesnt refer to poor frame rates. it refers to the time it takes for data to go from your pc over the internet to another pc and back.
