OK here is what I got :
Gateway FPD 1530 on NVIDIA GeForce 4 MX 440, just updated the GeForce to its newest drivers. I got Boston Acoustics sound.
I went under Network components - cause I have DSL verizon and I got a network hub where one of the ethernet wires goes into my computer- I got Intel(R)Pro/100 VE Network Connection.
I got 2.4 GHZ, with WIN XP , 512 MB Ram pentium 4 ok now here is a copy of my config.cfg:
// This file is overwritten whenever you change your user settings in the game.
// Add custom configurations to the file "userconfig.cfg".

Now, I go into Net_graph 3 and here is what I get... when I type in Max_fps 101...cl_cmdrate 101, cl_updaterate 101... I get a lot of choke like 60-70 depending on the server - usually a ping of 30-60. Then when I go to fps_max 92, cl_cmdrate 20, cl_update rate 20, I get a choke of around 1-6, and a loss of 1 . HOW am i still getting loss and choke on such low settings>? I have continually tried to mess around with all three of these variables but i STILL get SOME choke and sometimes loss. ANyone see anything I should change? Or help me get rid of this crap!!! also, feel free to ask for more info....thanks
Also, do I need to upgrade my sound card? It's sound blaster audigy 1 that came with the Gateway, I can't find any updates for it, so I'm assuming I can't upgrade the driver? Thanks...
