hello,i just bought counterstrike source and dod source for pc,and i tried playing it and it was VERY laggy... i have a 1 gig of memory,i have a 2.80 ghz... it runs very laggy and i dont have many programs on my pc...and i ran a virus scan and it is still pretty laggy.so i am asking if anyone can help me figure this out and tell me how to make my computer REALLY fast and good for games...cause i want to upgrade my computer cause it is only 1 year old... ok thanks
you can buy those games, but you cant send me the money you owe me for the job i did for you, you had the balls to block me on msn too, huh ?
probably your network connection. To test that out, run the video stress test in counter strike and see what your average fps is
you have a 2.8Ghz what? cordless phone? you can't play games with those. in full seriousness though take a look at the pinned thread. the one which says * * READ HERE BEFORE ASKING FOR HELP * * and FYI I'm willing to bet you have a 2.8Ghz Pentium D given your system is a year old(unless you spent $$$ for an athlon FX). for reference those basically suck when it comes to games, though for CSS it would probably be fine in most cases. basically you need a graphics card. read the pinned threads and then respond.
GFX and/or maybe too many processes running when you play. Press CRTL+ALT+DEL and go to processes, end any you knwo you don't need such as anti virus, ect. When in doubt about ending a process leave it alone.
You probably have intergrated graphics, find out if your motherboard supports AGP, PCI, or PCI-Express.
Please dont post in this thread about things that should be resolved via PM. Its up to you guys to solve the dispute between yourselves. If you want you can post in the problems section...
Please don't try and do the mods/admins job when they are more than capable of doing it themselves. @roflcopter2, there are many items that you can do to speed things up. IF you can, PM me the model number and manufacturer on your PC, or post it here. That should help out a lot.
