Major lag even before connecting to server!!!

[antharr]

It has to be a hardware problem if it is happening before I even select a server. However, tracking down that problem has not been an easy task. I know I have ample specs to run Fiesta but it will not run correctly.

Is there anyone that has encounted this problem before?

Here are my specs:
