I can play Half Life 2 well, but not CS:S!

[LMFA0]

I don't know how it happens, but I can play Half Life 2 smoothly. I think my graphix card is 60mb, not sure. When I try to play Counter-Strike: Source, it doesn't play smoothly, it goes like 3 frames per second. It always skips, everything in it while I play CS:S skips, like the players moving, it's just not smooth. Can you guys help me out, find out what's causing my computer to not play CS:S very well, but how it can play HL2? Thanks in advance

Computer specs come first. Help comes second.

The three most important things are Graphics Card, CPU and RAM. Go to RUN and type dxdiag, RAM and CPU should be listed under "Memory" and "Processor" respectively. Click on the Display tab and under Device|Name there it should state your graphics card. (eg. nVidia Geforce 6600GT)

Oh ok, thanks for the help lol

My computer specs are:
Memory: 1016MB RAM
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz (2 CPUs)
Graphix Card: Intel(R) 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family

Yeah there's the specs.
Please check em and see what the problem is.
Cuz I really want to play CS:S, never played it since like 6 months

is that GFX card onboard? Aso Intel GFX cards are not suported in HL2, im suprised u can even play decently. Do u have a AGP port, if so i'd recommend u invest in a 6600GT AGP card, cheap & very effective for gaming.

This is a cheap place to buy one online....http://www.pricerunner.co.uk/computing/components/graphics-cards/283974/prices

Or if u know of a shop locally?

^ What he said.

Your system looks good, overall, but see if your motherbaord has an AGP slot. If so, buy a video card (lister listed a good one, cheap too).
