I know some people that seem to think that dancing balls are a cause of lag, but in my 3 yrs here I have only heard that from a very select few people.
So I thought I would ask here, does spell effects affect your computer that much?
Personaly I think that most people with framerate problems should do a fresh install of the os to see if that would help, and maybe upgrade from 512 ram, I think that would be the 2 biggest offenders .
I recently installed DDo on my brothers dell , I took one look at the vid card and thought , heh no fan , someone needs to upgrade , but know what on lower settings , and the computer runs just fine.

Tanks for the input
