HOW TO: Reduce lag and frames per rate substantially in-servers
LeetZero:
I thought running stuff in windowed is actually more lagging because the desktop is also permanently rendered, thus the smooth alt tabbing compared to full-screen alt tabbing, that being the only reason for the windowed. The thing that matters is the render resolution, which is what you said about 800 x 600. Thus no matter what res you use, in theory, fullscreen would yield more FPS.
This is not really about reducing lag substantially, this is/should be generic knowledge.
Bisjac:
yeah playing games in a window is usually a bad idea. the computer likes to split up the active memory in not so efficient ways.

Lag isn't dependent on the client, it's dependent on the server.

I can agree with that partially, however I've entered many servers before with no ping and I haven't lagged in them. It differs.

If they don't have a ping it doesn't mean they have a bad connection.
