question if high ping

[imported_nismojspec]

does running backround tasks while playing bf2 like[itunes, aim ares etc.] give you high ping??? And does running a anti virus als o give you high ping???

I think it will make you skip and might lag. But I doubt it would bring your ping up. Try turning these programs off when playing.

if theyre using up bandwidth then yeah, like AIM, they can raise your ping. but like itunes, it will mostly just hog the resources like RAM and like Delta said, make you skip and lag alot more
