When I installed counter strike source with Half life 2 it lags my computer but the graphics is okay but not great. How do you Make my computer faster. It says that the requirements for counterstrike source is 2.4ghz and my computer has 2.0ghz but with counter strike source installed it says it doesnt meet the system requirements and I only have 1.0ghz on my computer. How do I make my computer faster and upgrade my ghz to play.

Answer 1

Your processor is fine.

I'd get a better Video Card.
www.newegg.com has some good deals.

I'll assume you have PCI-Express.
Go for like a 7800GT or beter. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814143037

Answer 2
