ATi FTW.
I choppy framerates from time to time - usually when landing in OG (or any other highly-populated area), or when hostile players are being loaded. I'd attribute this to my 512MB of RAM, though.
A minor question, though - I use a 56k connection, which is fine for PvE, but it causes problems in PvP and sometimes in PvE. Monsters and other players often won't show up at all until they're within 20 yards of me, which has caused my instance groups to occasionally wipe (I wander right into the middle of a pack of mobs that wasn't on my screen seconds before), or for me to get ganked (or miss ganking opportunities.) In the case of PvP, I've literally run right by people on my mount before they load (they load behind me), which gives them the first shot, placing me at a major disadvantage.
In large-scale raids (30+ people), the game becomes unplayable - I can count off four or five seconds between my clicking Whirlwind and its actual activation (which means I either die having never used it, or use it twenty yards distant.)
I'm trying to find out if this is client-side lag (i.e., my #$%&ty 56k connection), server-side lag (i.e., #$%&ty netcode from Blizzard), or more related to my somewhat low RAM.
ArrayPaladins were not meant to sit in the back of the raid staring at health bars all day, spamming heals and listening to eight different classes whine about buffs.[/quote]
