CounterStrike Source framerates

Hi,
Recently I tested both of my computers with the Video Stress Test in CounterStrike Source. What I found was extremely shocking, and I'm hoping someone can help me fix the problem.

My first computer is a Pentium 4 (2.4ghz) with 1024mb of RAM, running a Radeon 9000. At 1024x768 this computer recorded an average of 39.23 fps.
My second computer is an AMD Dual Core 4200+ also with 1024mb of RAM, running an integrated GeForce 6150. At 1024x768 this computer recorded an average of only 19.21 fps.

Both computers were running the exact same video settings: http://img58.imageshack.us/img58/3952/settingsde6.png

Why is my second computer getting such a slow framerate? I'd expect it to be alot faster than it is.
Thanks to anyone who can help 🙂

This is your problem.

Well perhaps it isn't as crap as i am betting on, if so make sure all graphics & chipset drivers are installed properly
 
I'm well aware that the 6150 isn't faster than the Radeon 9000, but is it only the GPU that will change the framerate? I thought the CPU would help a bit too?
 
source engines runs funky on my machine if I have both cores enabled on it
don't know if it'll change your results much though
 
On a Source game you need to have a high-end video card to get noticable differences from CPU's.
And vice-versa.

In the case of two crummy video cards, you can have massive differences in CPU's and still get similar frame rates.
