My system specs are a P4 3Ghz with 1G RAM and a ATI 9800XT. This should be anti-sttutering specs, don't you think?
Also, the problem isn't slowdowns in performance, but something I can only describe as stuttering...
I have a similar system and run it at 1280x1024 (or whatever the exact numbers are for that resolution!) with no problems! Valve recommends you check all of your drivers to see if they are up to date.
I really think Valve did a great job with the good graphics, best faces i've seen to date in a game, and fun gameplay in HL^2. IMHO, i think it looks better than Doom and FarCry. However, I like the dense foliage, toggle crouch, and toggle prone in FarCry that I don't find in HL^2!
Also, what is up with the counterstrike game? I guess its popularity eludes me. The maps are plain, folks are hyperjumping, hypershooting, no dense vegetation (even on the mayan temple?! ha ha), no ability to toggle crouch (or I haven't found it yet), and no ability to go prone. The control options seem a bit archaic. The skins and building look nice and I can run it with everything cranked fully up!
I keephearing about Day of Defeat and hope the new one based on the HL^2 engine will come out soon!
