Problem playing online games

Hi all,

I play games online quite a bit, and over the last couple of days I have been experiencing some lag issues. When I am playing the game around every two seconds the screen freezes for a split second and then jumps forward. During the freeze, I can see my fps drop considerably and then jump back up at the saem time the screen does. I tried playing another game to see if it was the 1st game causing the problem not my internet, but the same thing happened again.

I did a virus scan and found a Trojan, played the game again and everything was fine. Next day I tried to play the game and the same thing happened, I did another virus scan but it found nothing, I also scanned for spyware and removed some stuff.

Today I am having the same lag issues, if its not the game/virus/trojan/spyware then I am at a loss as to what it could be? Any ideas ?

edit: btw I get this problem whether I am on an empty server or a full one, and the problem occurs on any server I enter.

I am on 3MB NTL and have the follwing system specs:

AMD 64 3500
Asus A8V
1gb ocz dc ram
sapphire x800 pro
