Yes I have HL2. I'm running CS:S at this moment playing surf_skyworld (If you even know what that is) at 90-120 FPS, on high graphics, so that's great! But it is quite a low-end map, not that much in it.
I mainly got rid of the other high-end games like Far cry for instance because I couldn't handle it. I can't reinstall them because i've either sold them or given them away.
---------------------------------------
I'll write a little report of the games i've been playing so far.
On other mods like Garry's Mod, or Day of Defeat: Source my FPS is a lot lower, about 20-50 FPS, but still good.
Of course playing CS:S on different maps, the FPS would probably be similar.
I've tested Rome: Total War with 15,000 troops. Before I came here, when I made 15,000 troops I got like less than 5 FPS, it's a little better now, at about 10 FPS, which is cool.
Playing Battlefield 2 on Medium Graphics, I got an OK performance before I came here, but now it's a lot easier and enjoyable. I might even be able to turn the graphics up a notch to High, but I haven't tried it yet.
On World of Warcrack (Warcraft
) it was running good even before I came here, but now it's usually flawless, with only a few small freezes, and maybe lag while viewing a large amount of crap.
---------------------------------------
Overall I can play Most of the games (So Far) I still have installed on this computer pretty well.
But i'm looking into the future now, E.X Call of Duty 2, F.E.A.R, and I don't think this computer, and it's problem or whatever it may be, will meet my standards. It still can't even handle all the current games on High Graphics, which is frustrating because I want the full experience.
I think this is about it? If so I want to thank you all, especially Praetor, so much for the help. You've defintly increased it's performance a lot, I'm thankful and in your debt
But there still seems to be something in this box of of electronics that cripple it. I may just give this computer to one of my friends as a Christmas Present or something, because he isn't much of a gamer and it would be useful for his Job, Multi-tasking and an occasional CS:S game.
I'll become active here, it's a great environment. It has even inspired me to become a Computer Technician because I'm still an unemployed student.
Sorry if my first post was out of hand and pure complaining, I was really heated up
Again thanks, peace out.
