alright then, so i'll have to ask him to try setting his screen to windows mode to see if it makes any changes for the better. he has around 190 gb in ram, still have around 150 free, which we know it shouldn't lag so badly. ragnarok online runs perfectly, trickster runs great, (with an addition of xfire, msn, and firefox running at the same time) surprisingly enough. so all thats left is for him to get it in window mode and we'll see how it goes. if all else fails, well, no flyff for him until he goes back home.
thanks a bunch, guys
