Ever since I built my new puter (see sig) my CS blows. Although i have a constant 99fps (should I believe it?) I get lousy pings, constant laggin once I get in a game. My old puter which was a Gateway PIII 700 Mhz, Geforce3, 384mb sdram, Windows 98 was better. That puter is networked with my new one and a third puter running Windows XP. We have a Linksys 4port router and cable modem. My puter has an onboard nic, other 2 have linksys nics. We are hard wired not wireless. Big reason for buildin the new rig was CS and i'm really dissapointed. It almost seems like i have a lousy cable connection. How can I check that? Anybody have this same experience? P.S. since its a new rig, I had to do a new install of HL, update that to latest version and then get the download version of CS which is what I had before. P.S. my son likes to play Team Fortress Classic on the Gateway setup and has similar problem with lousy pings and laggy.
