    If I was playing a game...same as Generals...ok... I played solo game 1 v.s 1 and the game is running good, but while i'm playing 4 v.s 4 the game lag, why?

    Does it need more ram???

    Are you playing online, that's because your internet connection isn't that good to handle 4vs4.

    Other than, it might be graphic problems. Try to lower your graphic settings:

    For example: From Very High to Normal or Low, disable the shadows and lower the graphic details on the units and map. There should be a place where you can do that.

    1. Ram could be a factor. If you have 512MB, that sufficient enough... for now. At least for Generals
    2. Video card, I noticed you are playing Generals on a Geforce MX 440, even when I had that same card OCed I still experienced some slow downs. I suggest you lower your settings. Do what Teddz said.

    64MB, 128MB there's no real difference since it's the same chipset. Maybe you'll be able to get a few frames higher then the 64MB card, but performance wise you'll see no drastic difference.

    But really, if you don't have 512, like me, who have 256, I lowered my settings and it went smoothly. But it depends if you want to have crappy quality to play the game :p
