Since a while i've been having annoying lag, on all servers, its like that big lag when u suddenly are way across the map u know, but in tiny steps regularly, and in lagometer i see green dots disappear every know and then, as if ping were zero [but it aint] i guess i have to reinstall Q3? im worried about my OS X partition too, hasnt been defragged since i installed 10.2.... long ago, think i hear to much HD activity... any thoughts?

-Your having connection spikes not frame drops,correct?. do you have this lag when you run in server mode?.
-It might be best to defrag your HDD, run permissions fix and FSCK.Then install Panther....its worth it.
-GET MORE RAM, at least double what you have.
-OWC has a 1.42 Ghz cpu upgrade for your machine that doesnt require any patch software. that would solve ALMOST any speed issues your having. its about the price of a new graphics card.
As for the graphics card, that geforce2 is barely enough for UT anymore.
especially with a 733 G4. My dad has that exact same machine with a geforce4 Ti and 768 Mb of ram. Ive tweaked the crap out of it and it still struggles in a lot of frame eating maps and heavy fighting. The 9600 Pro
is a great card, i have on in this machine. The 9800 Pro is way to much $$$ when all your really getting is 8-10 fps more than the 9600 and anti-aliasing.

Hi, thanks for Your answer!
oh yes i have panther.. just havent done anything 'bout the fragmenatation since 10.2... laaaazy
About framedrops, i'm not sure, ofcourse with my computer i get "fps-lag" with alot of action going on but i've lerned to live with that .
I don't see "spikes" in the lagometer, no. this lag occurs when onine in multiplayer, it's so wierd, i can stand in a quiet part of the map, with "high" fps: 60 (ok, high for me atlest...) , slightly tap "sidestep" repetitve, and every third, fourth tap, will "bounce back" so that i havent actually moved at all... (hm, did that make any sense?)
And I, who thought i had lots of ram... :´-(
Ok, 9600 was only BTO right? impossible to get hold of, searched like crazy for used cards, i can get a Radeon 9000 64 Mb card, that's better than my geforce2mx, yes?

Perfect sense. This happens to me exactly the way you describe it, usually when I am on a server with antiwarp turned on.

This has started happening to me lately as well. Probably since 3.4 but I'm not completly sure. It used to work fine for me all the time, but I can't even play anymore because every server is way too laggy now.
I get that exact same "bounce-back" effect you're talking about, on every single server I play on now. Nothing has changed on my Mac besides the versions of Urban Terror.
