Chances are, your problems are stemming from playing on a Gateway!
What operating system is it running?
How much RAM does it have?
How many processes are running when you check the task manager? (if you have access to the task manager with the installed OS)
Is the system virus free?
Is it spyware free?
When was the last time it was defragged?
What is the history of the PC, is it your old system or did it belong to someone else?

a) Yeah its a gateway
b) vista, 3 or 4 gigs, I cleaned up the system of spyware (only a couple things, mostly IE browser toolbars), viruses (found nothing), defragged (needed it), and... it's my mom's computer.
But, this is all moot cause I went and got my own gaming computer from my old apartment, so I'm no longer borrowing my mom's (yeah, EQ addiction runs deep).
Still weird, since I played EQ 10 years ago on a 333 mhz gateway with 32 megs of ram with no issues. My mom's computer has more than enough power to the run game correctly. I'm assuming it's some issue with the Intel Dual Core chips, (not core 2 duo, I run a core 2 quad q6600 in my normal computer and like I said, that's fine) but who knows.
