Thats very in depth, as he said hes computer illiterate i doubt he knows what overclocking is come to think of it neither do i.

..Specifics? hell i'd like to know too.

overclocking

<hardware> Any adjustments made to computer hardware (or
software) to make its CPU run at a higher clock frequency
than intended by the original manufacturers. Typically this
involves replacing the crystal in the clock generation
circuitry with a higher frequency one or changing jumper
settings or software configuration.

if he's illiterate then he probably has a prebuilt computer such as dell. if its dell, just get a new card. they're so locked up its like a virtual chasity belt. if you already have a card, you can probably get a secondary software to change the speed of the card but it depends on the card itself. its usually little changes between 10-50mb for older cards and 10-100 for newer. the newest i've found can reach around 248 max..if its just for diablo 2, i can just send you a plugin that will disable the main lagging skill images.

most of their lag is from a service pipeline for connection and rest is from incomplete dc1-6 images with a framerate higher than what they added. they have nova preset to 14 but only drew enough for 4 so they used the same ones in layered frames which uses twice as much pages and wastes space and image animation making it glitchy on a moving animation. normal nova should be around 22 instead of the 49 it seems to be tested at.

....i got bored, took it apart and played with the images to make into a screensaver...dancing barb ballerina style lol. made it for my queer cousin.
