well i went ahead and got the alienware notebook, which by the way is flippin great…..but i did a lil research on it to find i’m really not paying all that much for the name…. cuz the dell that has the exact same tec specs is $799 and mine was $869 and i figured that hell why not, lets get an alienware…..this whole thread really has no point haha
Hey speaking of source. I have a 256 graphics card, radeon 9550, or something like that, but source still lags. Whats the deal, do i need more RAM or could it be the sound card???
I have a 256 fx 5200 limited edition and it only runs source at 20-30 fps. It’s not all in how much ram the card has, more or less it’s how fast the gpu and how fast the ramdacs are.

If he has a dual monitor set up like you, he could run the task manager on one and see what his cpu usage is.
Same here, I have a GeForce 7600- runs CSS at at least 150 fps on highest settings with Limewire, iTunes, Firefox, Thunderbird, Photoshop, and AIM running in the background. What CPU do you have?
Hey kuros, what kinda FPS do you get in 1.6? I got a geforce 4200 ( yes i know crap but I aint got money) and while playing with low settings, and high rates etc, can only get about 20 – 30 fps. 60 if no ones moving, 70 on a wall. 8 in gas
Other specs:
Asus P4s533-e delux main board
p4 2.8 14( maybe 16 i forgot micron cut) 1mb cache mem
1 gig Kingston Accel Ram
On board sound ( who cares really)
I switched back to a 7200rpm HD ( busted my seagate sata)
Yah any ideas what im doing wrong?
BTW full driver updates, and 40 – 43 processes running
CPU usage at roughly 40%
Ram at 1/4 usage.
