For some reason all the Steam games which run on the Half-Life engine seem to give very choppy gameplay and really low framerates.
I have a 2.4ghz P4 Processor
ATi Radeon 9600XT
1024mb RAM
On CS:S (which is obviously much more demanding on my system), I usually get an fps of around 30-40, but with Half-Life (single player as well as deathmatch), CS 1.6, DoD, The Trenches and The Ship (and I presume with the other mods not on the Source engine), I am getting <20fps. Usually I get something like 5fps in multiplayer. I remember reading somewhere a while ago about the memory cache applied to different games, could it perhaps be my system has automatically selected a very low one for these games? Any information about why I'm receiving these low framerates or how can I combat it would be greatly appreciated.
