So I was running FSC today,, and was lagging non-stop.. I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.8. I also have 222.32 Gigabytes still available on my laptop, and my graphic card is NVIDIA GeForce 320M... Is there anything I could do to mitigate the lag?? help!

If you're running on the Mac
If you're running on the Mac OS, then you're not virtualizing. I've got no clue what to say... so... sorry!

have you tried setting SK's
have you tried setting SK's graphic options to low, and the anti-aliasing to 1x?

or just turn anti-aliasing
or just turn anti-aliasing off (if possible)
you can also try to do what's suggested here:

My understanding
Mac has it's own version of Java that it runs, and doesn't receive the Java updates (Apple told Java not to worry about it, or something along those lines). Apparently, Lion runs SK pretty well, but on Snow leopard it sucks.

Upgrading to Mac OS 10.7
Upgrading to Mac OS 10.7 ("Lion") massively improved the client's graphics performance on my mid-2010 15″ MacBook Pro, which has a GeForce GT 330M.
Since you're on a Mac, I assume you're having to either virtualize or dual-boot windows. If it's the former, then you're going to lag quite a lot unless you allocate more RAM to the virtual machine. If the latter, then make sure you have enough RAM and have your graphics drivers updated. Hard drive space and speed don't really bring anything into the FPS lag equation.
