Otherwise known as "Latency". I need to reduce my ping so I can kill more people in Counter Strike. As Nacho Libre put it "I want to be the best! I want to be the Wheener!"

From most likely to be useful to the least:
1.) Shut down anything else on your PC that is using your internet connection. Your email program, IM client(s), even browser toolbars eat up bandwidth and can hold up your game packets from being delievered.
2.) Pick game servers that are physically closer to you.
3.) If you're using a cable modem (and you're not particularly attached to the service), get DSL. That way, it's a dedicated line between you and the ISP, instead of a shared trunk.
4.) If you're using WiFi to connect to the internet, switch to a good old fashioned Ethernet cable.

Whichever is maximum inexpensive for the overall performance and skill you like. don't fret with 10 000 rpm drives nevertheless, they are very costly for the skill and require specialized cooling, 7 2 hundred rpm drives are what you will need. each and every style seems to be approximately as stable as one yet another (you will discover people who've undesirable issues to assert approximately each and every style obtainable yet whilst the numbers are certainly run it appears that evidently they are all in simple terms as stable (or undesirable) as one yet another) and that all of them have on the subject of the comparable overall performance (nevertheless while you're computer has adequate RAM not user-friendly stress overall performance isn't an argument with gaming) so paying for on value is the appropriate thank you to do issues. Oh and there is likewise the apparent one approximately getting a not user-friendly stress with an interface which you will hook up on your computer yet once you're finding for a gaming or extreme overall performance computing gadget then you extremely would be wanting SATA (not SCSI, that is going to be very costly and could not grant adequate of a benefit over SATA to be quite certainly worth the greater advantageous value for a house person).

wow. Lots of variables here, depends mainly on your type of access and ISP. If on dial-up, switch to cable or DSL. Satellite will always have too high latency, so don't go that way. Unfortunately, there is not much to do if you already have cable or DSL, e.g., neighborhood traffic, and lot of other uncontrollable crap.
