how to check whats the problem?

So, this is my pc -> amd sempron 2500, 1gb ram, radeon 9200.

So I usually get 76 stable fps, expect grush ;<, but sometimes, like a one time in 5 minutes it goes to 20-30 fps for 10-15 seconds without any reason. My windows is pretty fresh, got it for a week now. Does anyone know what could be the problem or know how can I check what is wrong?

The strange thing is that on my 2nd pc, home pc which is almost the same as this one I got the same problem :\

your pc is the problem
just minimize and look at the processes activity when you've got that lag
I did it when played in a window, and didnt see anyth strange.

The AMD Sempron processor performs at the top of its class when running the home and business applications that you need most.


that's not meaning FPS shooters. You should better have an Athlon processor, even if its lower Ghz. it will still have better cache memory.

I got athlon in home and same problem :P

i had 125 once... now i has 40 and i blame PB!
This is the effect of GV streaming methods. I guess guys who made those scripts think that everybody has quad core nowadays...

Try it yourself and play on non-gv servers. Sad that CB requires such piece of crap installed.
