I would say your video card could cause the lag. I would say try out a non-IGP card is your best bet.

This is true. The fact is it will run FFXI just fine. If you experiance lag like that. It's most likely related to the hard drive. Back when I had my notebook I noticed I would lag going into IF or The AH in San D on FFXI I upgraded the Hard Drive. from a 4200rpm hard drive to a 7200rpm hard drive and I was amazed that it actually cut out that lag. The reason for the lag is it's trying to load all thouse Sprites and basicly Pictures of everyones weapons and gear and char models. It general does this reading from the hard drive. the 4200rpm hard drive is clearly slower then the 7200rpm causing it to transfer just alittle slower
