Faster internet connection or better graphic cards?
Which of them would make my game play faster/prettier?
Unfortunately, I can't afford both :(

I don't have a graphic card :(
I don't have a graphic card, running windows vista 32 bit, 2.5GB RAM, 2.1 GHz processor, 512kB wired connection.
A graphic card will solve the poor graphic quality but what about lag? I don't really mind poor graphics as long as the game runs smoothly. I've been killed sooo many times because of it. Will a graphic card improve lag time?

You have to have a graphics
You have to have a graphics card to play the game at all--look at the Technical Support FAQ to figure out what yours is.
A better graphics card would help your computer handle the game better, which might make it faster, but it sounds like you are having lag problems, not computing problems.
Are you playing on a wireless connection with a wireless router? You could try moving your computer closer to the router, or just plugging your ethernet cable directly into your computer to see if a more stable connection will cut down on your lag.

512kb is really low, you
512kb is really low, you might want to consider something a bit better than .5Mbps

Thanks
Thanks for the advise. Anyway my friend tried playing the game using her computer and my internet connection. Her game didn't lag so much as mine did so i guess its my graphic card... maybe o.O
First of all, what is your graphics card, operating system, RAM and processor?
A faster internet connection will end up costing you a LOT more in the long run than a graphics card ever would. If you're using a wireless connection, you might want to think about upgrading your router, or plugging your Ethernet cable directly into your computer instead.
