I just bought a new system and was looking forward to improved performance for online gaming but am
having major problems with video/animation speeds for Asherons Call.

The new machine is an HP Pavilion 7935
Windows XP home edition
AMD Athlon 1.3 Gig
352 MB SDRAM
S3 Prosavage integrated graphics card (32 MB shared)

full specs here: http://products.hp-at-home.com/products/detail.php?id=P5267A&display_specs=full_spec&j=0

I'm currently playing via dial up at 48K until ATT gets my cable restored.

I have tried degrading all possible video settings (both in game and on the machine) and it appears to have no impact on my animation speed. The graphics look great but all animations are in slow motion. If I cast a spell or perform another action with animations its effects take place immediately but the animations pile up and continue (at a very slow rate) until they are all completed.

My old machine (2 years old) with only 8 MB of video memory and an integrated graphics card performs much better over the same dial up connection.

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

cheers,

Cam
