Given Valve have demonstrated that they are not fully aware of what causes the stuttering bug, that they think it's "not a big problem", and quite honestly it's unlikely this issue will be resolved - as it is a major Source engine flaw - then I've decided to create this post

I run TweakGuides.com and in the interests of getting most of the people who are experiencing the stuttering bug to at least enjoy this game as best they can, I want to give a heads-up to stutterers:

Half-Life 2 Tweak Guide - This guide contains all the known HL2-specific stuttering fixes, explanations of all the in-game and Cvar settings and recommendations for optimal performance in HL2. That will help you create good conditions for minimizing stuttering in HL2.

More importantly though, you should try my new free downloadable Windows XP Tweaking Companion to configure your system for optimal performance in general. This will help reduce the stuttering and also increase stability and performance in any game.

Note that both guides are free, I am not sponsored by any hardware or software company, and you're welcome to ignore this message if you don't think it will help you.

However since Valve will not release a fix for this problem, we really do have to help ourselves in this situation and optimize our systems as best as possible. On my machine the stuttering is virtually unnoticeable (but still there). And that's the best that can be done at the moment.
 
Yup. I use both of those excellent guides. :)
 
They seem good guides I would suggest using them even if you don't have the stutter bug(which I don't) as he said it will help overall.
