hi!
we have a serious problem with our srcds...
it's always limited at ~125FPS. we're using debian+tickrate 100.
the server specs:
AMD Sempron 64 3000+
2 GB RAM
160GB HDD
Debian 3.1
i think that's enough to produce much more FPS, as this server is the only srcds on the root! i also added the fps_max command, but it didn't help!

Are you runnin it in console? or GUI mode? How many other procs are you running? If the server is in 64bit mode I would suggest a amd64 bit tweak gor glibc, i only know how to apply it in gentoo, but im quite sure it'll work on other platforms, also for even further performance, try running the server on a ramdisk. memory has more bandwidth than hard drives.

Your kernel frequency is only 250hz. You need to recompile the kernel with 1000hz if you want greater than 125fps. Even with 1000hz, the most you'll get is about 333fps.

if you're not real familiar ith linux i don't recommend doing it.
Another thing you can do is:
weed out your kernel, a smaller kernel is the way to go, take things out that you ABSOLUTELY do NOT need. like USB devices. You don't need them even if the computer is at your house, you can always ssh in from another computer.
DO NOT RUN THE SERVER AS ROOT. Create another user and run it under that user would be another suggestion.
Currently at the moment I can't think of anything else. If I do, i'll post back.

the srcds already runs under another user...
how do i take things out of the kernel? is there something like a tutorial?
Practicing on a box right next to you is a good way to start. Once you get used to it, it's not that bad. It's a steep curve to figure out how to do it, but soon it becomes second nature; just like reinstalling windows
