Here is my experience with FIFA's ONLINE PLAY:
On my street there are four people who own FIFA 2001 and have cable modem (including myself)

I have Celeron 433 128 MB RAM (and cable modem as mentioned above) DirectX 7, WinME

When I played my friend Rob who lives 30 house down from me (who has a Pentium 700 128 MB RAM, DirectX 7 and WinME) FIFA 2001 is playable with a wee bit of lag once a while, nonetheless it is still playable.

When I played my friend Mark who lives across the street from me (who has a Cyrix 233 64MB RAM WinME and DirectX 7) FIFA 2001 is playable but lots of lag. It is playable but not enojoyable so i choose not to play with him.

When I played my friend Phil who lives across the street from me (who has a Pentium 300 64MB RAM WinME and DirectX 8) FIFA 2001 is very playable with NO lag. It is playable and enojoyable.

I think it as something to do with DirectX 8. Just a guess, get it at www.microsoft.com/directx (http://www.microsoft.com/directx)

If he only lives across the street you could throw Dx8 over to him?

He has a cable modem, he can download it himself (he knows where to get it)
