Any reason that it doesn't run well? My friend can run any Source game at full settings and his frame rate is locked at 299 fps always

I'm running Half-Life 2 on my grandma's computer (the specs are better then you would assume), and it runs terribly on recommended settings, and even on the lowest settings it never goes above 30 fps. Specs are as follows: Quad-core Intel Core i5 clocked at 3.2 GHz Nvidia GeForce 310 (512...

Hey I just realized something. The process "HL2.exe" is using 284,000 some kb of memory. I'm assuming this means RAM right? So, 284 mb is NOT a lot, which means that I could probably adjust how much it's allowed to use, I'm assuming. Anyone know if I'm on track here?

Just so you know I have 45 processes going on right now. idk if that changes anything but a lot of them are for the system so I don't really want to end too many of them.

Yup, the specs are the same.

Ok, just did a fps check. It hovers around sixty when I'm just walking around but then if I look down that hole I mentioned it goes to 30 and when there's an explosion it goes down to 30 or even below 20, and it goes down there whenever I use the flashlight. But it's always at either roughly 30...

Also, it's not the worst performance in the world, but I would think it would be better considering I SURPASS the specs RECOMMENDED BY VALVE. And my video card is decent, especially for a game from 2004.

ok, so I enabled "wait for vertical sync", which got rid of any screen tearing, but the frame rate still takes a hit if there are explosions, if I'm looking at a relatively big area (such as the vertical mining shaft at the end of ravenholm), and especially when I turn the flashlight on in a dim...

I'm really confused about how Half-Life 2 runs on my computer. I have a 3.0 GHz P4 processor 2 GB RAM nvidia zotac geforce 8400gs (512 mb vram) which supports directx 10 and I'm running windows xp. The recommended settings for my computer set everything on high, water on "reflect...
