Java is a programming language that allows computers to play online games. If you're having lag times while playing games online, there are a few things you can do to correct the problem. The most common causes of lag times involve the Internet cache, insufficient RAM (Random Access Memory) or CPU (Central Processing Unit) usage, and out-of-date software on the system.
