Maybe You have low Dsl speed or you dont have a very good RAM. If you check those things you will not have so much laaag :P . Or maybe the server has problem (ask someone ingame if he has lag too)

Well something i used when i had lag.Go to game options at the first tab at the middle says Lower Detail.Press it.

 

Btw you say that your computer is new and very good so i suppose that Lower Detail won't fix much and i don't even think that is a connection problem.3 or 4 years ago i was playing L2 with a dial-up connection and i didn't had lag!!So it mustn't be the problem that.Don't download anything while you play..test the lower detail thing and post comment.

sometimes when theres a lot of players on one place in l2 theres lag for me i mean :) what i do is to low all details and textures and i turn off the shadows ..it helps ;)

L2 runs with the lower dsl speed,everything based on RAM memory

 

P.S u got the correct hosts?

i explain it in another post some days ago:

 

English

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lag

 

Simply is that, also the Bandwidth is important http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwidth_(computing)

beacuse of the bandwidth u have u will have more or less lag

 

if u want to see your internet connection speed

if u want less lag 1 Get a good conection , get ram memory and get a server whit good machine xD

 

(new info) remember each day the games improve thereselfs and for that reason u will always need better and better pc , for example i play a server whit 200 ppls and i have 2mb conection and 1gig ram and i play fine (whit hellbound and whit out the full graphics ofc ;P)
