Hi all

how should the Pentium 4 3.0Ghz perform in Counter Strike Source?

I am beginning to think it is the bottleneck in my system, but I always thought that it should at least be able to cope.
 
my question is because I play a lot of CSS, and performace is kinda sucky on my system

p4 3.0ghz
generic mobo
1gb ddr 400 ram
Geforce 6800NU


the 6800 should be able to run the game at 1280x1024 on low settings, but there is some slowdown in game. I run the game at high and low, performance is the same.

So i was just checking that the cpu should be able to run it okay.
 
got some thoughts it might be the onboard sound killing my performance, ripping my dads sblive7.1 card out in a mo.

my p4 is on a generic mobo from a big computer retailer (parents bought the pc for a stupid price as a gift) and I can't OC the p4. heck, i would if i could.

I will post back and see if the soundcard has helped with performance
