Choppy Graphics

[x_gryphon_x]

I recently bought Counter Strike Source. I bought it because I wanted Day of Defeat Source that came with it. It runs very choppy when I have the graphics all the way down to low. This is what I have.

Intel Celeron 1.7Ghz
MSI Nvidia GeForce 5500FX 256MB AGP8x
ASUS P4S8X-X Motherboard
1024 MB of Ram


Why is it so choppy and what can I do to make it better?

My computer has similar specs to yours except I have a P4 1.8ghz, and it runs CS source fine. Maybe it's the processor?

You need a better CPU and Graphics card.

Try to find a cheap used P4 and upgrade you graphics w/ a used 6600GT AGP or something simular.

well with the res. all the way down? anyway it is your cpu. get a P4 with like 2.6ghz or somethin.

get a better CPU deffinetly, you've got a crap load of RAM to use so that shouldnt efect it unless its bad, regarding the Graphics Card, i would set it to DX7 mode instead of DX9 BUT, if you can get ahold of a used (or new) 6600GT it will run alot better

Thanks for the advice. I was actually going to a motherboard and processor bundle. I love AMD so I found that and a Gigabyte m/b for like 115 dollars. And yeah. I need a better grafix card. Thanks again.
