ok, im dont know the technical way I can describe this for you, but when I play an online game I get these "lag spikes" every minute or so where everything around my character stops moving, or keeps moving in the same direction it was going when the spike started, for about 3-10 seconds. My friend ran some kind of diagnostics program and found that the internet was getting interrupted every minute or so, and he decided that that was what was causing the problem. I just talked to him on the phone and he told me that he fixed this by deleting the vista drivers and then installing the xp ones. If there is some other way to solve this please tell me.
