One thing that has helped me before is setting the theme to Windows basic. Also, make sure you have the proper video card drivers and that they are updated. Also, try running at a lower resolution. I was running in my laptops widescreen res and had fps drops to 20 or so, but changing it to 1024x768 kept my drops around 40-50 or so.
I remember back in the day, setting the CPU affinity so that it only uses 1 core used to help some people with FPS issues... It might be worth a try.
Can you run CS 1.6 well?
I'll try to change windows theme...but there's a problem about the video card driver, cause it seems that only one driver (made by Dell) runs both VGA's...it means that the drivers on ATI and Intel webpage's does not work right (I tried to install both, but them tell me that there's no hardware on my comp.), the correct driver might be the one modified by Dell, and probably will never have an update (I doubt on it).
I downloaded CS 1.6, and it worked well, 100 fps with no slow down, what is very strange. I set the same resolution of DOD 1.3 on CS 1.6, and the screen doesn't fill all the monitor area (different from dod until this moment), and the fps kept constant, then i started dod 1.3, and the screen became the same as CS 1.6, but the slow down on fps continues.
CPU affinity changes does not made any difference for me :/
Do you play on 1024 resolution without half of the monitor area?
