    Hi guys I have an alienware m11x r2 and I've pretty much kept everything at defeater as I got my machine.

    Specs: i7 | 320gb | 4gb ram

    When I play source games I seem to only be getting 20-50 fps with settings on high in native res. When there's a full server sometimes I've seen my fps go down to 19 haha. I'm pretty sure this machine is able to perform better than this. Could you guys please suggest specific things to help increase the performance of my laptop. I've checked out the optimization thread and I didn't notice any difference when I OC'ed my cpu... I'm kinda lost as to what to do. I also updated my nvdia driver to the new green beta one.
