I have a vostro 1500...and it comes with
1.4ghz dual core
4 gb ram
gm 965 express chipset

I get really low fps in cs 1.6 and when someone turns on the flashlight i get 4 fps...I get about 25-30 fps constantly which is bad because I play Gaming Leagues..

I really need help...T_T

I would advise you to update all your chipset graphics drivers.

GM Express Chipset are not superb graphic card as they are internal one. Updating drivers won't make a great diffrence. The best to do with it will be to buy a graphic card and put inside.

We're talking about CS 1.6. Shouldn't really require a heavy duty GPU.

Yes it shouldn't but GM 965 are not to extra graphic card even on the 3 series I got some problem sometimes. Mainly when playing in mass number of bots.

I tried tweaking the settings of the game but no improvement

As I say you need to change the graphic card. Internal ones are not superb buy a new one and you will be able to play a lot of games smoothly

I see...But its a laptop though so Im screwed @_@

Thats why I always advise friends and whoever want my opinion to buy a notebook with a dedicated graphics solution even the most pathetic of such are better than intel.
