Default Anyone Play Far Cry?

Well i bought this game and it is pretty damn cool. I had to go out and buy a new video card becasue my 64 mb gforce mx wasnt cutting it. I got a Radeion 9800 pro 128 mb. It works alot better!! The online play is awsome!! My only complains is not enough player and some lag on my end, but i think i need more ram, i have 512 but my friend has the same setup i as me and has 1 gig and his doesnt not lag at all. So yea that might help, anyone else play this game?

I've had no problems with it and my 64MB GeForce 4 MX440...
Online gets laggy as hell for me after about 5 minutes, even with my sub-100ms ping times and 1GB of RAM. :dunno:

I have an AMD athlon XP 2200. and 512 of ram. I think i'm gonna hold off, i'll be building a new rig soon with an athlon 3000 hopefully and 1 gig of ram that should play the game like nothing!
