Hey guys,

I'm experimenting with different configs to get my Aspire 8920g laptop running CS:S at anything above 20fps. I don't get it, my laptop has pretty decent specs for running something like source, but it still runs like shit. The ONLY issue I can think of is Windows 7 is suggesting I get a new battery... But anyhow. Specs:
