Well we need to know what your resolution, Shaders, and all that other stuff are set to. That affects how your computer will perform.

I think he's suffering from the same bug in Source that I (and many others) are, he's got a system that easily crushes the requirements, yet bad performance.

Blame Valve man, theres nothing we can do for you... If you want, you can try dropping your detail levels to the lowest settings all around, but i'm offering 10:1 odds that you get no increase in performance...

I've tried next to everything, I just don't think there is a fix.

Most of the problems that you are expirencing probably can't be fixed. I have had many of the same problems as well and some times it was just certains settings were set to high or something like that.

Just spouting off that valve sucks or something to that effect doesn't help anything. Sometimes the way that Valve distributes its products is what causes the problem and all you hae to do it uninstall and then redownload the updates and then it will work fine.

And he part about putting everything as its lowest that does increase the performance. If it doesn't there is something wrong with your set up. Simple as that.

Uh, No, No and No... Not to be rude, but you obviously don't know the full scope of the problem... I experience the same problems on my (much less powerful) rig, and there is no solution that I can find. There are many others in the same boat, people with all sorts of different systems all reporting the same extreme slowdown problems with CS:S.

With an FX-53 and a 6600 SLI setup, he should have absolutely no problem running source at full detail with every setting cranked... He definately should not be getting any system lag of any kind. I'm assuming he has a good net connection, as that can be a burden on the game, and judging by his choke numbers, he may have a problem there.

I would suggest running a spyware/malware scan to be sure.

The truth is, there are a LOT of people with the same problem, as soon as the situation gets a little hairy, the FPS drops like a rock, doesn't matter how good your system is, or what your settings are.

I repeat, Blame Valve, file a customer support ticket.
