have you done the essentials? Clear out your temp internet files, temporary folders, etc?

how are you sharing out your cable? router? or just one single computer using teh cable?

do you have any p2p software being used? what firewall are you running? is this all servers? or very random.

i had this problem. whatcha gotta do is turn off vsync on ur video card, and if that doesnt work, then, nothing will, its a common problem, but when i got it, vsync fixed it, then i got it again after a while, and i did the factory restore and its been fine ever since

I just bought a new video card, a TI4200, and it worked great. Started playing games on it (Nephew) and after two weeks, everything seemed to sllooowww down. Swapped out the video card with a generic TNT2 and worked great (for the TNT2), turned out the card slowly went bad. This corrected the problem with the lag.
