Ok, For the past 4 months, I've had a problem with my keyboard(s). Two months before christmas, the keyboard my computer came with, started to lag. I would play games such as BF2142, Counterstrike, etc and it got to a point where it would take aprox. 2-5 seconds to realize a key was pressed, and the action would occur. I was fed up with it, So! I got a new keyboard for christmas. It was a Microsoft Wired Keyboard, ( I hate wireless ) and it worked fine for the first week. Than it started again. But its now even worse, I stopped playing GTA:SA , BF 2142, Vegas, and even stopped using applications like FL Studio, all because my keys are lagging that badly. I've tried everything, Installing the drivers again, Getting a new keyboard ( obviously ) Setting my priorities in Task manager, But it's still not better. Some people said it could be the graphics card I installed last year near august. It was an XFX 7600 GT xXx Edition. I overclocked it a bit. But everything ran fine.

Applications/Games Installed:
BF 2142
Rainbow Six Vegas
Rollercoaster Tycoon 3
Sim City4
Sims 2
GTA: SA
MTA: SA
Live For Speed (doesn't occur because I use Racing wheel, otherwise does)
Unreal Tournament 3
Bunch of Steam Games


Applications/Games that problem Occurs:
BF2142
Rainbow Six Vegas
GTA: SA ( big time )
MTA: SA (Same)
LFS (only with keyboard)
UT3
Steam games (All, invludes Dod,CS:S,HL2, etc.)

Comp Specs:
Cpu: AMD 4200 X2 at 2.24Ghz
Ram: 2GB Brand name DDR-2 800
GPU: XFX 7600 GT xXx Edition Oc'd ...too lazy too check how much.
PSU: Standard 500w
HDD: 320GB Sata 3.0
