one more thing, what would be slowing my game down the most on my comp? if you have ever played the game and if you press ~ and then type ren_shownetworkstats in the box the npress enter, and it should show you a number like +2 or -3 in the first column, what would put it more in the - with my comp?

you could get a better video card but it wouldnt be as good of an upgrade as a different cpu. go for an 8800gt or something similar

lol again don't listen to these guys, your system specs are ok, don't expect your games to fly, u only have a 8600gt, upgrade yours video card, to a 4650, 3850, 3870, 9600gt, 8800gt etc. also try over clocking your cpu to lets say 2.6ghz. most games should run smooth as silk, but if u have the dough, it doesn't hurt to upgrade to intel
