question about Hi Ping

[nerfherder]

Hi all, my E machine crashed hard in September. I finally am able to replace it, from having to use my 9 year old laptop.
I had ordered the computer last night, using the laptop, Unfortunately, the laptop's hard drive crashed this morning before I had a chance to do anything, so I have ordered another hard drive for it, both are due for delivery next tuesday.

For now, i am using my Wife's pride and joy, (Her G-5 Mac), but there is no freelancer for MAC so far...seen and read a lot of the forums for mac clamoring for a freelancer to play.

Here is a link to what I bought:

Acer Aspire E380-UD440A AMD Desktop PC - AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ 2.2GHz, 2GB DDR2, 320GB SATA HDD, DL DVDRW, NVIDIA Graphics, Gigabit LAN, Flash Reader, Windows Vista Home Premium

A question to the forums, does a computer speed affect the ping for the server?

I am now on Satellite Internet, and the first thing I noticed was my Ping was up there. Hamburg Freelancer is the worst at 1700

{I like playing there without any mods} and they kick me now everytime I try to play there for Hi Ping.

Discovery rp and pvp are abut 1200

Im laggy sometimes, somtimes i'm fine.

and then and can a computer's hi ping crash the server?

yours scruffy
