I've not been playing for a while now, but this has made me curious.

I upgraded to DX9 last summer so I could play SWG. Then I started playing EQ again last fall, still using DX9. I didn't notice any difference, just my usual lag in PoK and the bazaar. So, is it the DX9 that's messing everyone up, or some "upgrade" that SOE did to the graphic engine?

Su, Before buying a new video card as someone else suggested, I would try installing the new 56.64 drivers from NVIDIA first. Your card is not that old. It's part of the GeForce4 series which is one series before GeForce FX (in case anyone didn't know). The 56.64 drivers support your card. Also, to reduce headaches, set a restore point before upgrading the video drivers. I prefer to uninstall and re- install drivers in Safe Mode. In this way, you're sure the system isn't using any of the driver files. If you look at SOE's required specs (forget recommended specs), I believe that your system meets or exceeds their requirements. http://eqlive.station.sony.com/support/tech_support/ts_system_require ments.jsp And, this is SOE's guide to the DirectX 9.0b upgrade: http://eqlive.station.sony.com/news_section/newsview.jsp?story=61536 Just a thought. -Arthiliel
