Dealing with lag while you're gaming online can be a real downer especially when you're in the middle of a heated battle. There are a few things that you can do to minimize lag time and keep your play as smooth as possible.

here are some simple yet helpful tips on how to minimize lag

1. Keep your computer up to speed. Generally, the faster your computer, the better your online gaming experience. Add more RAM for a quick fix. Defrag regularly and close any applications that you aren’t using. This includes IM clients and other items lying dormant in your system tray.

2. Invest in the fastest Internet connection possible. Most game-play lag has more to do with your Internet connection than the game servers. Check the connection speed before signing up. Cable Internet is usually faster than DSL or satellite.

3. Clear your connection. If you have other occupied computers hooked up to your network, the strain on your connection may produce lag time. Make sure no one else is using the connected computers when you play.

4. Connect to the right game server. You have several options, and sometimes choosing the wrong one can slow playing speeds. Choose only dedicated servers in your country for optimum performance.

simple steps for those suffering lag in game ^_^
