Here's my spec:

Intel Pentium 4 Processor w/HT Technology 3.4GHz
15.4 inch WUXGA
1GB DDR SDRAM 400MHz
80gb 5400 rpm
MR9700 128mb

I updated the bios to A05 and installed latest omega drivers...
When I tried playing CSS it was running at an intolerable speed... even at 800x600 and medium settings...

this is definitely not normal! :(
