I bought a new rig a few months ago, and am using a recycled USB Wireless Internet Adapter (Linksys WUSB54GC Compact Wireless-G USB Adapter Link: http://www.amazon.com/Linksys-WUSB [...] -4485758). On my old computer all my games ran fine, and now I am getting lag spikes quite often while gaming.
The rig was put together myself, and yes all the newest drivers have been installed. I run Windows Vista-64 Home Premium, (same as my old system, where internet games ran flawlessly on the same wireless adapter). I downloaded a program called ping tester and here are the results.

So ya, question is, do I have to get a new wireless Adapter?
*I have tried Vista Anti Lag, WLAN Optimizer, and have deselected the search for better connections option in the , manage wireless network folder.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your time.
