Well, lag usually results from having low memory. But if you're sure your friend has the same machine without lag, hard to say. Unless he has a better ISP than you....

ISP is most likeley the problem. Do you defrag your comp regularily because that speeds things up. Virtual paging files as well could be increased.

There are online tools that allow you to do a speed test too...in case you don't want to take their word for it. Unfortunately I forgot the address...anybody?

First thing you might want to try is increasing your virtual memory on your computer to do that go to start then control panel go to performance and maintenance then system then advanced then settings go to advanced again at that point in your window you should three sections the bottom will say virtual memory click on change then custom size and change it too initial size 1536 and maximum size to 3072 then click on set and okay you will probably have to reset your computer to make the settings stick. Hope that helps :)

Is the 1G your Ram that might also be a problem If your only running on 256 Ram than that might be your problem as well while CoH will run on the 256 Ram it will be very laggy I recommend increasing your ram to 1GB to have smoother game playing.

Thanks to Death Fetish for this cool "siggy"

You can try increasing your RAM like VV recommended. You can also try upgrading your vid card. In the meantime, you could try turning your in-game graphics setting to 'minimum'.
I don't know what server you play on, but if it's Freedom or Virtue, they are the most populated servers and this will contribute to your lag. If it's not too much inconvenience, you might try rolling a toon on a less populated server.

The most common cause for lag is reduced performance in the Internet connection.
You can use the link below to test the speed of your connection...
>> ISP Dyno <<
You may want to test using a few different servers to get an idea of what the connection performance averages.
I noticed you also have another post about enabling FSAA. As a few people have already suggested, you should look into upgrading your Vid Card... and now is actually a good time to do it, because of the newer generation of cards being released. This means that good cards like the GeForce 7600 GS with 512 MB DDR2 memory can be bought for prices as low as $130.
That's not too bad, IMO. Since you have 1 Gig or RAM already and a pretty good processor, these two things are then best place to start investigating to eliminate your lag.

Well you're right, I don't know anything about those ATI cards, all I've ever used are Nvidia. So I have no idea an what an X1800XT 256MB can do.
Right now my system has a GeForce 6600 with 256 MB, 1 Gig of RAM with an AMD 64 processor, and I only have some lag issues when an 8 man team is going all out on an AV and its mob.
I guess I worded my reply incorrectly, I'm not saying upgrade your memory, (I have 1 gig too as I mentioned). What I meant to say is, examine your connection speed or your video card, for reason for lag.
But since I have no idea what I'm talking about... shutting up now.

1: Relax and don't be insulting. Gameamp is WELL known as a friendly and helpful community. We don't take kindly to insults, at all. People have been banned for it.
2: This is another thread that you've created for the same issue. In the other thread, I mentioned turning off shadows because ATI cards and shadows don't play well together.
3: Make sure you have the latest drivers from the ATI website.
4: There's no such thing as 2 PCs that are exactly then same unless you've both just taken them out of the box and they are the exact same model and build. If you've used them for any amount of time, they're different enough that problems can be had.
Bottom line. Update video drivers from ATI's website. Turn off Shadows in the advanced video settings in the game. Check it and see how it goes.
