AHH HAA! Had the same problem about a month ago...in fact i couldnt even get off
the ship in freeport because of lag. But with the new computer you will be
greatly impressed. I'm now running with 128meg of ram and that made all the
difference, even though i still only connect at 28k the most. The game will
greatly improve for you and you will come to love playing everywhere. As a side
note, i finally know what it is like to use selos and NOT have people outrun me
who are not even sow'd. Hehe, now that sucked.
