Counterstrike Source FPS problems

[LIZARAZO]

I Have Installed And Played Counter Strike Source. With My Radeon 9800 Pro The Graphics Are Great! Although My Fps Is Very Low. 18-35. I Have Tried More Power E.g. 350 W And I Still Cant Get My Fps To Go Higher. One Thing That I Have Noticed Is That I Have 2 Memory Stick Of 512 Mbs Each But They Run @ 133 Mhz. Could This Be My Problem? I Hear That I Have The Old Sdram System And I Cant Do Anything About It Unless I Get A New Mother Board.. Is This Correct?

IF you have the old sdram system you will need a new motherboard to support DDR.. I see you are running a P4 socket 478 more then likely here is a few boards to look at..

You will also need some ram I suggest Kingston ,Cosiar OCZ or Geial

YOu can run it on 512 but a gig is better ....

Well that aint gonna help us out much. What OS are you running, and when you say you cant play...what do you mean? Do you get an error, does it crash..you get my drift.

plz help cs:s

I just bought counterstrike source got it all installed and updated and i will be playing for about 1-20 minutes and it will freeze up to the point i cant alt F4 out ctr alt delete out nothing and sumtimes windows will kick me out of the program, most the time I literally have to hold down the power button to get it to shut off, I emailed VALVe tech support about 2 1/2 weeks ago still no response, all i want is to be able to play my $40 game for as long as i want without getn booted. any advice would be much appreciated

My Specs: Custom Build
ASUS A8v mobo
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Venice Core
2 Corsair 512mb RAM
ATI 9550 Radeon Graphhics Card
80gb Western Digital Hard Drive
Windows XP Pro OEM Edition

nvm i have figured it out, on the ASUS A8V mobo, there is al lthis confusion about where to put the RAM, well i have found the best solution that has fixed my problem!! put 2 512's in the 2 slots (one blue one black) on the side of the mobo towards the front of the case, it has solved all of my problems

FPS Problem sloved (Desktop PCs Solution)

Hi guys hope this will prove interesting. Here is a little solution to most desktop pc for gaining a proper preformance in Counter Strike Source.

1. Make sure your graphic card is better then Ge Force 5200 and u have at least 512 mb ram.

2. If above is correct go to your bios setup (when u switch your computer press del key/f2 key and a setup will come up):

a) In the chipset page make sure your memory timing settings are set to SPD/Auto.
b) Fin option called "AGP Aparature size" or alike. There u select amount of memory which is supporting your GPU in demanding applications. Chose the amount coresponding to the amount of memory your graphic adpater posses.
c) Save your setings and startup again.
d) Enjoy Cs Source.

PS: It would also add to a flavour if u use well tweaked drivers have fun!!!
