i got the alienware

[ZAattackCH@WCU]

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

You do realize that Dell owns Alienware… glad your happy with your laptop purchase.

[Falcon]

WHAT! Dell owns alienware? oh man you just ruint my opinion of em

[ZAattackCH@WCU]

yea i did know this

[Phonetically Phamous (dice]

i dont see you in source

[ZAattackCH@WCU]

yea i cant play it on the computer so i just said f–k it and stick with 1.6

[Yoda’s Dentist]

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???

[Kuros]

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.

You’re lucky then – my 5200 could barely get 8fps on the lowest settings. More likely Yoda’s problem is CPU-related.

[Kuros]

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.

geforce 7600 hear gameplay average on CS:S 130-95 staring at a wall i get up to 150

[JazzmanSA80]

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?

[dont4get2flush]

Yeah that’s weird, when I play CS:S I normally get around 65 trillion fps…

[Deathspirit]

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.

That post up there doesn’t matter anymore, I now have a 7950gt ko which owns anybody on this forum.

It matters to me.. I got crappy FPS

[dont4get2flush]

we’re even then, I’ve got the ATI Radeon X1900

[Kuros]

x1900 has nothing on this overclocked card. It has a faster core clock than an 8800 gts

[dont4get2flush]

oh overclocked?! nice

pics or it didn’t happen.
