I had a rough start with CB too. Although i have found this not due to a lag issue at this point. The newest technology was put into this game so you sould use the newest equipment. The game runs perfect for me using dial-up. What I had to do was upgrade my video card and ram memory. I recommend upgrading your ram to 512 and getting a video card with at least 256 on it. This will allow you to move around without any freezing up and give you the PS experience that was intended.
