Ok, this is a really major problem. I just bought a brand new Dell 8000 Series Desktop, with 1GB RAM and 3.2GHz processor, which should run top quality games at high speed. Yet, when I log on Runescape, it's super choppy! It runs for about 10 secs, then freezes for 2 secs, then repeats.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The only other thing that could be causing this is my connection, which works fine on Xbox Live. The only questionable part of it is that I am using a wireless adapter...Anyone know what might be causing these problems?

All I can think of is update your hosts file to block the very annoying runescape ads ;)

So what's your connection?

 

 

 

Chances are the servers were just under a heap of strain :-?

Wow thats wierd. I have a $500 dell and it works fine. :?

 

 

 

Except it lags a lot when theres a flash banned on top so i have to set it to low quality. :x

 

 

 

Probably not your problem though

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Woot you can edit again!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have you tried reinstalling or updating your java?

Two words:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sun Java

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Newer Motherboards are having issues with sun java and apparently no one wants to fix it :?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I had the same issue as you (accept not as good specs) and after about 3 weeks of investigation I had fianlly come to the conclusion that it was sun java. Dun dun dun!!! I downloaded microsoft java VM, and voila, it worked like a charm!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Eurika! Voila! Bunderbar! Qazuenheit! Sa cre bluer! Wee-wee!

Your wireless connector might not be recieving well, it happened to me and RS ran just like you're describing. Plug it in once and see how it runs..

update graphic drivers and use microsoft virtual machine instead of sun java. it doesn't come standard on xp machines anymore, but u can find it if u google it abit

Iv stopped buying from dell after i realized that i can get a computer for 1/3 of the price while being 3 times better. 3 grand for a computer...geez. Go on ebay you can get a Dell Precision for about 1/3 that much. A good Alienware for 1/2 as much.

Check to make sure you have the latest drivers for your graphics card ect.

You can be running runescape on Collossus and you will still lag if you have a crappy connection. Consider upgrading your broadband and make sure you have configured sun java (the only secure java, msjava is suseptable to viruses) properly. read the stickies

A refurbished Alienware, which is probably much cheaper, but would still have decent specs. So he had a point.

Quadro????

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't think he's an architect IMHO..... ;)

blah lol i named the most expensive video card i can think of on top of my head lol.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

btw Ryan, seriously itsa joke. Also, like Hannibal said, any used Alienware will pwn that computers at 1/2 the cost.

it dont matter about the cost of your comp. some times the severs get so full that you gat lags and if there are any adverts on the web page of any other web page that you are on at the same time they can cause rs to lag as well. it also mgiht be your internet connetion

Key word in the posts you quoted: used. Aka, refurbished, second-hand, etc. etc.

Why the hell was this bumped?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the guy mentioned just an Alienware, not a refurbished one so get off my case. I obviously forgot to defend myself 6 MONTHS ago when this post was made.

err yea, don't bump old topics needlessly.
