lol hello everyone I thought i would just share some of my tips on how to get rid of lag.

1# first thing i do when games start to lag is go ctrl+alt+delete and then go processors (i might of spelt that wrong) then select the browser ur running like firefox.exe or iexplore.exe and set its priority to high if u have a slow computer and real time if u have a fast computer.

2# set the quality of the game to low (which u all probably know how to do)

3# close all other unneccesary programs. for example if a add comes up in another window it could greatly increase lag.

4# u see those icons next to where ur time is displayed. yer well get rid of as many of them as possible . i mean dont quit ur firewall or do somthing dumb like that but if u have quicktime running in background or other annoying appliances just right click and go to exit or quit or wateva

5# finally get Tune up utilities 2009 trial version. It probably doubled my computer speed overall and it helps rid ur computer of errors, unwanted shortcuts, programs that u forgot where installed and gives u lots of recomendations on how to speed up ur pc.

sorry of my spelling lol and if u have any other good tips of getting rid of the extremely annoying thing called lag plz leave a comment.

note: i use XP some of these tips wont work on other operating systems.

Yes, but wouldn't that erase all my data on all the games I play on the Internet that do does not need a Internet connection?


Wut? If it is online, don't you need an Internet connection to open it? Also, you can manually back up your flash game save files.

here's another tip #6 make sure you have a quad-core cpu and high-speed internet connection


This may be 1 1/2 years late, but people like me can't afford fancy computers.

I got an Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q8300 and a 28mgb internet speed, I also clear my cache regularly and I do get a little lag from time to time but it doesn't bother me much

Yea, I would recommend downloading Google Chrome. It's the FASTEST internet browser out there, and it is proven.

No. Fire Fox and Google Chrome are even. Come here to look for yourself. Fire Fox is ranked number one. Click here for proof. I've tried both and Fire Fox is fastest for me.

@Bazilla Going off topic a bit, if you really do have $1000 budget, I recommend you buy a new computer.
I don't know the US prices, but I think you could get a Mac for that amount of money.
Do you actually have that much to spend on new computer stuff? After all, you are thirteen or fourteen according to your profile.

I'd second guess that if it says Google has no email or telephone support.

Here's my testing with every app disabled and cleaned computer inbetween each time.
