WAR (Warhammer Online)

first of all let me say that i am NOT here to flame the game... i love it so far. I do, however, have a few concerns

1.) parts of my characters are constantly buggy, (missing parts of arms, see thru torso stuff like that)

2.) im getting some BAD lag spikes (will run fine for 15-20min then i will lag and wont be able to move for a good 3minutes, i was thinking maybe this was because their servers arent used to the heavy traffic?)

i dunno if these r due to my comp or not? or if the game still needs a couple patches to be running better....i can deal with the occasional lag spikes, but i cant stand the character issues...

im running a 2.4ghz processor , 1gb ram...geforce 7600...3mb/s cable internet...not the greatest by far but it handles most games great

just looking for someone to maybe tell me if i just need to adjust some settings to fix these?

Bro go buy another gig of ram.  This game takes a minimum of 1 gig to run.  And when your running XP its taking up atleast 256mb of your ram to run it, not to mention your applications.  Go buy a stick of 1gig pc5300 ddr2.. thats standard for any modern computer these days.  You'll vastly improve your systems proformance for roughly 70-90 dollars.

1.Yeah i had problems with the see through and Ive had shadows look all crazy before. But since launch I havent had those problems. 

2.I havent had those bad lag spikes and im on a highly populated server.

Is your procy Dual core?    I play on highest settings and this game takes up over 1 gig of ram on my computer.  So if you playing on highest settings you might want to drop it to balanced.  You internet should be fine Im on a 4mb/s connection and I do fine. MMO's dont take up all that much bandwith.
