multiplayer question

[boogytim]

I tried to get into a multi player game but it just took forever to even load up...Im thinking its because my comp is very below average ..it plays ok single player but I thought that might be the problem.
If it helps I have a Dell 8200
Pentium 4 1.90 GHz 1.89 GHz
256 MB of Ram
nVIDA geForce2 Video Card

What Internet connection do you have, is it working OK, broadband is BEST.

".....Pentium 4 1.90 GHz.....", mine is only AMD 2.2 & loads up OK.

".....GHz 1.89 GHz ......256 MB of Ram.....", if your ram is 1.89gb, I only have 1gb.

If your ram is only 256MB, forget it, get 1gb.

His ram is 256mb, which is the problem.

The two clock speeds are the one that the processor is labled as (P4 1.9GHz) and the speed it reads in windows (1.89GHz). Windows recognizes Intel processors at .01GHz below the speed they are marketed at for some reason. I have a P4 2.0GHz and windows reads it as a P4 1.99GHZ.
