mobo:GA-965P-DS3
gfx: nvidia 7950GT
RAM: Corsair 2GB Kit 800Mhz
CPU:E4400
hdd1: 80GB seagate SATA
hdd2: 200GB seagate SATA (tested both of them with ffxi and OS on it always the same problem)

oh and i'm using windows xp 32bit atm

and now the odd thing:
when i have a download running i don't have this "lag"

run HijackThis to find out what's running in the background. Also, check to see your ports are open on your router/firewall for FFXI

[Zigma]

did you try running it without the windower and or a different version of windower (lite edition etc)

@sigi
i tried with 100% new windows just graphic card drivers installed same problem,

@Zigma
