Ping vs. netgraph

What is different between the ping time when you go to view info on the multiplayer-internet section and the ping time that is shown under netgraph? I get a ping time around 200 on the multiplayer screen, but a ping time of 400-500 on netgraph at times, sometimes it is lower. How could I get the time under netgraph closer to the 200 according to the multiplayer screen?

scoreboard ping also takes into advantage your video capabilities/ram/processor usage

so if you have a good vid card.. your scoreboard ping will be considerably better then the netgraph ping.. the netgraph ping is the actual ping.. but don't be discouraged if it's high.. just look at the scoreboard ping
