My computer runs Warhammer Online fine in areas with 40 or less Players. I get the bad "lag" and FPS when it is 41+. I would just like to know if there is a way to upgrade anything in my rig right now, with maybe being able to keep my VGC (ATI Sapphire HD3850) Or if I need to replace it also... My biggest question is, where would I see the biggest improvement on my rig, if you could only improve one spot. Thanks for your time!

Specs:

Windows XP (SP2)
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 Prescott CPU 3.00GHz (2 CPUs)
Memory: pqi POWER Series 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 333 (PC 2700) (2048MB RAM Total)
GFX Card: ATI Radeon HD 3850 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 AGP 4X/8X HDCP Ready
Mobo: Asus P4SD-VX


Again, thanks for your time. I run WAR at around 22 FPS at all low settings. I just wanna have some more "umph" to the platform and try to get another year out of her until she just can't go on!

Thanks!

Upgrade your processor to something a little more meaty, maybe a 3.2GHz or something. And get a 48xx graphics card instead of your 3850. That should do the trick :).

No there aint. atm he pretty much has the best there is for his rig
you should get some imporvements if you up your cpu indeed but imo not worth getting a new p4. try overclocking it like 200-400 mhz

or he could try and get a P4 965 EE for $200 and get a nice compact water cooling system for $100, maybe up the ram to 4x1GB ddr-3200 for $100 too.

Don't spend money on what you have. Don't do it, your PC is too dated to spend more money on. Waste of money, waste of money. You will not see much improvement for the money you will spend. Just make do with it until you can do a complete platform upgrade.
