Server lag

[skeletor]

are you running the server on the same pc as your playing? and internet doesn't really matter about your lag if ur on the same local network. memory usually isn't the limiting factor. and graphics most definatly don't matter in terms of a server. usually its the cpu that kills it. i would say that if your runnin on the same computer as your playing, then your computer just dont like runnin the server as well as the game itself. to fix this.. put the server on another computer .. anyways.. what are your cpu specs? you may be able to squeeze it out of the same computer if your cpu is decent, and if you optimize some.
