I have a Intel P3 500 and unfortunately im still using a dial up http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/frown.gif
I have 3 differant isp's on 3 differant backbones with 3 differant
sets of dns #. So ive ruled out the isp/dns.
Here is what happens. When im doing something, downloading or playing
my favorite online rpg, my CPU is always at 100% usage. So when I am
playing my game (Asheron's Call) i will get a good 45 seconds of no
data passing. If i hope out and look at the windows system monitor
it say a solid 100% CPU use with nothing but the game open. Also one
day i did a ping of www.zone.com (http://www.zone.com) and a couple other domains, and the
results were good, then request time out, then (and Ive never seen this)
"no resources". In the game I could be running then just lag out, usually
end up dying too http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/frown.gif
What I have done:
1. Bought new modem. Modemblaster external 56k V90
2. Replaced 1 32, 1 96 memory w/ 2 of the same kind of 128
3. Bought new power supply, and new surge protector
4. Heat sink fan check out fine.
5. Tested on 3 differant isps w/differant dns #'s
6. Changed game port on AC settings
Please help if you can. Has anyone ever seen "no resources"
on a ping? what could that possibly mean? With a P3 500
and 256 meg memory, shouldn't I be able to run 1 game w/o
all these problems? Btw, my roomie with an amd, using same isps
same phone lines, has 0 problems
Please Write Back. :/
