well i play cs competively and having 100 fps in this game is very important since lower fps will affect your shooting.with cs:source coming out i think i might need an upgrade if i want the same performance.
my specs are
amd athlon xp 3000+
radeon 9600xt
512 mb dual chann ram

i am not amazing with computers but i know stuff about them,i was wondering if having a gig of ram will help at all even if u arent using over 512 mb of ram?im saying if i only use 400 mb of ram will having a gig of ram still be faster than 512?also i dont think my vid card is good enough for source.i was thinking of getting a x800 xt plat edition for my next upgrade.
i was playing source beta at my lan center and the specs of the pcs there are 5600s 256 mb vid cars,athlon xp 2800s+,and 512 dual channel ram and i was running beta with lowest in game settings and 800x600 resolution and only getting an average of maybe 40 fps!!!!!!this is why i think i need to upgrade my video card or maybe ram
