What is your MB?

Solution might be incredibly simple, try turning down the detail settings in the game itself, that machine won't be able to run MoH at the highest settings without problems.

I have a MSI- MS-6309 Lite MB.

I have tried lowering details, don't work. When my game lags, IT LAGS!!! Not just a little glitch some places, but whenever i make a move.

Is this online that you're playing?

None.
FYI i have been through all the basic ways of reducing lag problams, try to dig deep people! THANX

which driver version?

[Jtpunky]

the new ones

Defragg your hard drive, empty your temp folders, check to see what your page file is set as and consider making it fixed at a decent value (.5 times your 768MB), try older drivers since I'm not a fan of the new ones, and as a last resort consider nuking your drive and starting over fresh if you're using an older OS (I did this with 98se, but you shouldn't have to with XP).

could be the drivers actually- they decrease performance for GF3 compared to 23.11 which are the optimal. Install and download those.

when i open DXDIAG my page file is 101mb used, 17777mb available. How do i increase my page file.

 

[HonestJhon]

windows automatically uses the page file...you cant really increase it.
just a thought......
MIGHT be a sound issue...
reason i say this, is because with GTA3, my mx-300 was giving me headaches. caused the game to LAGGGGGGGGGGGG
got a fortissimo2 digital edition, and sound problems went away.

i have medal of honor allied assault, and have no problem running it...with detail all the way up...geforce 2 pro 64meg, 256megs ddr, athlon 900 @1.07ghz.
my suggestions...
update drivers for your motherboard, sound card, and any other hardware that is in there that uses a driver.
try a different driver for the video card. i installed the 29.47's, and it lowered my 3dmark score...by a nice chunk... :frown: . someone told me it was supposed to speed things up...what happened nvidia?!?!?!
then defrag the hard drive.
then, go in the bios, and see what the graphics aperature is set to. set it to different levels and test...see which is best for you. most people say it is best to set it to half the ammount of ram that you have...but might be different for you.
make sure, in the bios, that agp 4x is enabled. that will make a bit of difference.
if none of this works...then i have no idea.
maybe i will think of something.
oh, also try getting the latest patch for the game...sometimes that helps.
good luck.
