tweaks to improve performance in online FPS games

[deee12]

What tweaks are available for use in online FPS games that allow top performance in games like DF2? I have tried something that is supposed to allow me to use refresh of 85 mhz...what my monitor allows ... not the rate limited apparently by xp in games of 60mhz. I have no idea how to verify if this is actually working however. Also anyone know of any other tweaks etc that may help performance??

turn down detail level, resolution, and color depth.

If your on a 56k connection, like me, there are some really good tweaks to reduce your ping at www.overclockers.com. My ping in CS went down from about 220 to 150.

My sig's faster than yours, and it overclocks better too....
