    i've gotten a new compter lately, and i got wireless-g WMP54G adapter. due to vistaof always having an "issue caused when Windows polls for new wireless networks, causing a huge spike in latency and 100% for for a 2 - 5 second period every minute, on the minute"

    basically i googled this problem, and its pretty common, but there's no real source to fixing it

    I have this problem too. Every couple of minutes, I get the smallest of lags, and every 10 minutes I just get like a 2 second lag. It's annoying, But I hardly play games anymore.
