    OS or Hardware problem.

    Actually, it couldn't be a Windows problem. I installed Everquest and War Craft III in another computer (Dell P4 2.4) and it has no problems. So I guess it has to be a Hardware problem, I just don't know which hardware.

    Please help me fix this lag problem.

    I use to get the same memory address error message. Are you saying that it is most likely that the stick is bad or the mobo itself? Cuz if it's the RAM stick why wouldn't u just get a new one? I'm planning to get a RAM first thing 2morrow morning.
