When playing Defiance my video picture has a minor lagging issue. Looks like the refresh rate can not keep up. Anyone have an idea what might cause this.

My mother board is: Board: ASUSTeK Computer INC. M2N32-SLI DELUXE 1.XX
Bus Clock: 200 megahertz
BIOS: Phoenix Technologies, LTD ASUS M2N32-SLI DELUXE ACPI BIOS Revision 0903 01/02/2007
My Processor is: 3.00 gigahertz AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core
128 kilobyte primary memory cache
1024 kilobyte secondary memory cache
64-bit ready
Multi-core (2 total)
Not hyper-threaded

My primary guess is that your motherboard/CPU/RAM are old enough to cause latency/lag issues on newer games. Defiance only came out a couple months ago, so running a brand new multiplayer game on DDR2-800 RAM is a stretch. I point to the RAM as the main culprit, but it also has a lot to do with the fact that you're running an AM2 processor on an AM2 board. That's all pretty old architecture given today's standard.

Thanks for your input. I had a feeling that most answers were going to go in that direction.. I guess I need to research a replacement board/cpu..Any suggestions?
