What is the triple_buffer, and what does it do? If you don't mind me asking?

the EQ2.ini you have to make when you want to load a custom UI instead of default.
the Triple_buffer is a really nice command from SOE.
Normally a computer calls up two graphics buffers into memory ( a graphics buffer is a small section of system ram dedicated to holding graphics before they are either sent through the processor* or to the Garp table on your video card )
having three allows more of the graphics to be cahced which reduces lagg during game play because the game doesn't have to say render the mipmap table every 3 feet you walk. If this table and it's graphics are stored in these buffers.
*sometimes on Intel machines the GPU requests that the Processor stream the information to the garp table
some terms might be slightly off, I haven't gotten any sleep because SOE decided to revoke my EQ2 account, now I must call them up and /threaten
