After about 2-3 hours online my comp gets this really annoying lag.

When ever I look in the direction of a keep it lags like there were 4fg inc
I've tried to reinstall GFX drivers but nothin happens.

Anyone got another suggestion to break this anooying habit?

try defraging or recovering memory, sugest using Sytem machanic or sim program,
hope that helps

I wouldnt bother witrh defragging ram, if this was the case we would all get the same symptoms over this period of time. If this is a problem that develops over time as you indicate then it is more likely that you have a buggy program in the background that is leaking memory, or hardware drivers that are leaking memory. I suggest the usual of ensuring latest drivers for soundcard and graphics, and also kill any background programs you have runnning, especially p2p stuff.

What machine and OS by the way?

I have the same at my home computer now and then. Like crom said it is a memory leak. I havent checked into which program it is but i know for sure it is a mem leak of one of the programs i have running while playing.

Seem to remember you might of mentioned this but -- upgrade the video card!! If youre on a really tight budget ebay a Radeon 9800pro/xt usually between 30 and 50 quid.
