I've got XP Pro with a 1.7 Celeron, 768 Ram and an ATI
9000 vid card (just 64 megs). Not the best set up, but
it works well for me. I know if I had a better vid
card, my lag would be even less, but I just don't have
the funds now, hehe.
I used to run Win ME and I lagged much worse then. So
yeah, it could be the OS.
