Laggy Games
My new game (Unreal II) is so laggy when it first starts but it smooths out after a while like when it first loads, the first minute, the frame jumps around at around 3 or 4 fps then after a while it becomes around 30fps.
Is this because of my slow 1.4GHz Pentium 4 processor or because of my small PC800 256MB Ram? |

It can also be the vid card. What kind do you have anyway?

Sometimes it's just the swap file and memory clearing itself out and loading in the game...

I have a Radeon 9000 125MB 4x AGP right now but I'm thinking about getting a different vid card.
Also, I don't think its just the files getting cleared because it really bad lagging and for a while too. Also it takes about 3mins to load the game every time I die. |

I'd say it's all three the vid, cpu and ram. Unreal II is a hog on a system.
If I remember correctly the ATI 8500 or better was a requirement and the ATI 9000 didn't perform as well as the 8500 and so ATI renamed the 8500 to 9100
