    PC Problem

    Processor: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.53GHz
    RAM: 1.5G
    Graphics Card: VisionTek Radeon X1550 And GeForce 6200
    DirectX: 9.0
    OS: Windows XP
    Connection: Charter Communications ( Cable )
    My PC has PCI slots.

    Games: Counter Strike: Source

    I have always had low FPS. I thought it was my video card, so I bought the Radeon X1550, still low FPS but I delt with it. So I then thought " Hey! maybe it's my RAM, I only have 768MB of it! " So I bought a gig. I now have 1.5G ( only two slots for RAM ). I also bought the GeForce 6200, hooked that shit up. Yes I downloaded the latest drivers ( I'm not dumb ). I didn't notice too much of a difference, of course. So, I checked both cards FPS they gave me during CSS gameplay. the Radeon gave me 10 more FPS during the test, and I'm guessing that's because it comes equipped with a fan, and the GeForce doesn't. But it's still REALLY laggy. I know it's not the drivers, or a virus, I clean and defrag my PC weekly.

    Here are Counter Strike Source's Requirements:

    Minimum: 1.2 GHz Processor, 256MB RAM, DirectX 7 level graphics card, Windows 2000/XP, Mouse, Keyboard, Internet Connection

    Recommended: 2.4 GHz Processor, 512MB RAM, DirectX 9 level graphics card, Windows 2000/XP, Mouse, Keyboard, Internet Connection

    Nvidia GeForce 6200:
    Video Memory: 256mb
    Memory Type: DDR
    Interface Type: PCI
    RAMDAC: 400MHz

    VisionTek Radeon:
    Video Memory: 256mb
    Memory Type: DDR2
    Interface Type: PCI
    RAMDAC: 400MHz

    I'm not quite really sure what the problem is. If anyone has any ideas, please email me at seeing as how I have a bad habit at checking forums. Thanks.

    Re: PC Problem

    i suggest you try the same game on a PC with Pentium processor, The Celeron Processors have Less Cache memory, cache plays an important role in transferring bulk data (huge bulk data in case of a game). This might be the only problem. Try it out and you will feel the difference in a Celeron based machine & a Pentium based machine. There is a lot of performance difference, hence the Celeron processors are cheaper then Pentium processors.
    try it out!
