Well to run mir you know you have more than enough and back in the old days on US server i was running on board gfx with 256 ram etc etc on my Dell p.c which is like 8 years old and not only was/am still 1 of the highest chars on there but i was also a pk'er and done alot of it and never lagged or whatever.
As a US player you should know that its recently been down graded from a 2 server set up to 1 single server set up and lag is 100times worse than it is usually so its more likely a ping/isp problem rather than a computer 1.
Lastly im sure you've already been warned for posting in the wrong section as this is for private server chat and not official so don't do it
Hope this helps

sorry I couldn't see an official mir 3 forums section in which to post.

I was afraid you were going to say it was due to the isp/ping i've upgraded to a 20mb connect but thats really not helped :S

Its down to the distance between you and the computer the game is hosted on, As said above they have downgraded now, So there is more chance of you lagging.

Your pc specs and connection is more than enough to run the game.

ping the server... you get the same ping on 1mb or 20mb line.

Well that looks like a more specific diagnosis (from what i can read) so thats proberbly your problem, maybe try it with your on board gfx to narrow it down but as i say you just have to look at US forums to know that lag is a big issue, mostly due to the population on 1 server but also because the server is in the US so has a garunteed ping of like 70+ for trans atlantic
