Ok here are my SPECS:

INTEL P4 3.2

1 GIG RAM (CORSAIR E S)

P4C800 DELUXE E (ICH5R CHIPSET) <-----DONT KNOW IF I SPELLED THIS RIGHT BUT THATS IT

ATI 9800 XT

WIN XP PRO

BLAH BLAH, basically my comp OWNZ.....BUT, when i do the resolution thing. I still get a little lag!!! like it will move slowly as i walk, from time to time (BUT IT LOOKS AWESOME!).

I turned the settings on my 9800xt to HIGH PERFORMANCE, and the game looked just as good as when I put it on high reso.
EXCEPT: ther are some things that still could look a little bit finer, for example, the trees dont look as good as they did with the 2048 settings on. And their is a faint (BARELY NOTICIBLE) outlining on my char and other Char. Its very insignificant but was non-existant with the 2048 on.

My question is this: WHY THE FUDGESICLE is my comp running slightly slow with the 2048 on?? I built it this way to not have to deal with this problem!! Is it my connection?? I dont think it is becuz, WHEN I had my 9800xt on HIGH it was PRETTY and FAST!!!
But STILL the high reso is slightly better, and why not use it if I have my kind of system!!! Any ideas? Am I insane??

EDIT: Nevermind, i just read some of the earlier posts. I seems that this slows down even the best of cards. Because it takes up alot bandwidth and blah blah (dont know the rest).

But back to my 9800XT. Does anyone here use it (i am sure there are). Have you guys with the 9800xt put it on the max setting?
I run it on High with NO problems whatsoever. Should I move it to OPTIMAL? thx in advance!
