It might be your connection i'm afraid, since i upgraded mine from 1mb to 10mb i've rarely had any lag and i'm in the UK, although i do have 3gb of ram.
Have you checked for new drivers on http://www.omegadrivers.net/ ? Thier pretty good with video card drivers.
Last time i had a problem was when some drunk kicked the ***** out of NTL box up the road from me. Asides that, some lag is expected connecting from the otherside of the pond. Hope it works out for you.
oh my specs
p4 3ghz
2gig ram
ATI Radeon 9800 pro
don't know about the motherboard my other half does all that stuff.
regards
