LoL. I would recommend Verizon DSL if you live in the Tri-State Area. Otherwise, run a few online tests on your internet connection to see if it's living up to its claims.

www.dslreports.net is one of the best.

lagging or just framy? theres a difference. if its lag then ur internet connection is being used by something else or bad connection or just really high ping etc. its its framy then get new vid card/ram STICK(not ram card)

ram ram ram and a new graphics card can be sooooo helpful. My fiance has been drooling over an ATI radeon for months and has great plans for tax refund time :D
He even made a wish list on our site with a picture of the graphic card, he's so subtle with his hints :P

Always make sure your Video Card drivers are up to date, that can help a lot. Also, never run the settings at max on a high resolution unless you know your machine can handle it.

Scan your computer as well
Your resources may be taken up by spyware programs. A lot fo people have these processes running and don't notice. I recommend trying Ad-Aware.
