Hi,


Just got a new Graphics card, a ATI Radeon 3650 512mb.

its a great card, can play all my games at around 70-120FPS. ( HL2)

I was playing online in Counter-Strike, and i was getting a good around 60FPS with another 19 people playing usually.

but all of a sudden, about 1 week later, it seems that there is alot of lagg.

If i play any map,server in CS:S i keep getting around 20-30fps.

And if i create my own server, ( for example with 29 bots) it goes to 10 FPS, with around 260Ping.

And, obviously, less bots, more frames, and less ping.

With 1 bot, its still only 50FPS in CS:S.


Also the computer seems slow anyway.


spec:

305w psu
1gb pc2-3200
ati 3650 512mb ddr2
intel p4 2.8ghz H-T ( 512kb or 1mb cache)

Thats pretty much it. also loading up the PC takes a good minute or so after i have logged on.

Would my cpu be too slow, or would i be needing more RAM?

I was thinking,

2gb pc2-4200,

or,

another intel P4 maybe 3ghz, or 3.2ghz


if anyone can help... thanks alot.

what kind of motherboard do you have?

maybe it's just time to clean up your computer. Everytime my computer gets that slow I uninstall every not needed software, do a defrag, a full virus scan and adjust the system startup registry ( deactivate all the autostartprogrames which I don't need or want). If you are using microsoft office deactivate the startup of all CTFMON.EXE, that should help too.

might want to try that

Cheers.

Motherboard: even i dont know, its a dell pc i do know its a foxconn.. but hey.. lol


the last defrag i have done was many a year ago ;d


no microsoft office here, well i do have one cftmon.exe but it doesnt look too hard on the load.


thanks

just need to find me some time to do all of this now. haha
