Ok, all this IPX talk, and we've forgotten the original post--I too am
getting strange lag at times, which has never happened before. And my
meter is not showing any lag at all. I find it disconcerting, to say the
least. Rest assured, I have a very fast computer/graphics setup, and a
fast modem. I recently downloaded a big 28 meg SBLive! upgrade...I
wonder if that crap has affected my gameplay somehow...I hate some of
those SBLive! components.
