For online gaming, the most important thing isn't the speed (very little data is actually transferred) so much as it is the latency.
Latency is the "lag" between when you send a packet and someone else receives it. Because you are in Jeddah, your latency to any of the CoD servers will be very high (they're all in Europe, America, and Australia), so you'll have a high ping and connection issues.
As for TimeShift, try lowering the shader options in the game settings.

Your problem here would be #3. You need to lower the shaders down. Having them on high is for Uber Gaming machines that have like Dual 8800GTX cards in SLi mode. For your machine you will probably only be able to run the shaders on low.

Just keep in mind that many games use a lot of hacks and loopholes to accomplish what they need with maximum performance, so if that still doesn't work, it's possible that the game simply isn't Vista compatible.... There a ton of games to choose from though, so no big loss, eh?
It's no different. Instead of connecting directly to the CoD servers, you're going through Hamachi's VPN cluster - if you're far away from a VPN server, you're still in trouble.
The actual ping value does not matter (much) so long as everyone is the same. 350 is, quite honestly, terrible. For me, I get ~200 ping connecting to the Halo servers (not good), but since most people in the States get around 30-90 ping, it's even worse.
The only way to work around this is to set up your own server, and have others in your region connect to it. That way, you'll all have low ping.

One beautiful day, in far future, I'll spend 20.000 euros on a PC
and have fastest PC in the country :evil: People, what happened with nVidia 9xxx series? Shouldn't it be out in november? :lol:

For about two or three days, after which a 200 Euro PC would be faster. :S
Such is the life
^ yes sir
but i think i figured it out
i stayed up playing over the night, while the universities network wasnt in great use, its sunday and people are doing things on the network
ill just check every now and then
i do know i had slightly lower ping at the Lan Party
the set up was that the dedicated server was on the same sides as me, so i didnt have to connect to a switch, just a router, would that actually help?

Yes Guru is right. While i play CS:S online a lot along with some other games my Ping is usually less than 100. If it gets over 200 i usually dont connect.
Your high ping will be due to the network constantly being in use by someone. If you were on a connection at home the network is only in use by you so the ping times will be way down. But at a University someone is always doing something which causes your ping to be super high all the time.
Sadly there isnt anyway around this. Uless you play a lot of single player games that include the net.
