hi, my major problem is low fps in cs1.6 . I did everything... typed lots off commands in console and sent the latest drivers ( i quess ) but fps stayed at 25 - 35 :(~ . here is my computer specs ->
cpu - 600 , Hdd - 20gb , VGA - Voodoo3 , Ram - 320 .
I think this will help you to solve my problem ;)

Sorry dude. I'm usually the one who stands up for people who own older machines but you just can't expect to improve framerates too much with that machine. 20 more FPS? Guess you could try a lower resolution....

I'd say CS would be fine on at that system, but resolution does matter, and the fact that you're running 1.6 doesn't help.

Another thought ... have you checked for viruses and spyware/adware?

Yawgm0th , i play at resolution 640x480 , 16bit, that's the lowest . I mean, is there any programs that makes pc run faster ? And is there something i can do with my drivers or vga ?

Re: Please solve my problem of LOW FPS

Installing software that says it will boost performace usually does the opposite, just because it's taking up resources. Check your processes and close all the ones that you aren't using. Go into msconfig and from the services and startup tabs stop all the ones you don't need. That's helped me a good deal on slower machines. Installing new drivers is just running the exe that you download. You should be able to get the latest drivers for you Voodoo on Voodoofiles.com. I wouldn't recommend overclocking anything though, unless you have good cooling to your cpu. What version of Windows do you run also? If you're running XP, you probably shouldn't. Even 2000 is pushing it. You would get the best performance running 98SE.

Go to add/remove programs. Uninstall the old drivers. Restart. Install the new ones. Restart.

That sounds normal... Though 20 is a bit low I'm sure your average is higher.

But what game are you talking about and what settings are you playing it on?

The only thing that will make that hardware faster is to overclock the cpu and gpu. This may get you a few frames but that is all, dont expect a miracle.

I once got a celeron700 to run @75fsb instead of the rated 66fsb, making it 788mhz and also bumped the r7000 64mb by about 20% for the mem and core asyncronus. This gave a 3dmark 01 score of 1250 instead of the stock 925(a 35% increase)

That was a long time ago.
