    Because you need high end hardware to run certain games maxed out, even at 35fps. Again it's that simple.

    i just got half-life 2 for my b-day the bundle pack thing with counterstrike source.... But i can't for the life of me figure out why i can play that at average 32 fps .. the lowest it went to was 22. But i can't seem to play halo above21 fps. Was the halo engine that badly ported? Also my settings where on medium for halflife 2 ...1024x768. But also i just want to throw something in for myself. I have a wife and a daughter i support and go to college and serve in US Navy. If anyone has ever been in the military you know the pay is not good. But i can't aford to buy the latest and greatest gaming machine out there. For some of us IGP's are the best we can afford so if we can play the game and are happy with it. You don't have to argue with us .... just be happy for us. Because it is probably one more kill for you on CS:S where as there would be less gamers there if we weren't there. And we are happy to be playing to.
