On what priority are you running the server ?
ctrl + alt + del > proccesses (srcds.exe, hlds.exe) right click and see what priority its on. it should be Above normal or high. if it still lags .. try makin the game proccess(hl2.exe) low, but i dont think u need that on ur specs.

its either Counter Strike Source , or Half life ... which are u running ?? u said hlds .
ok to go to the proccess (after running the SERVER)
ctrl + alt + del >> look for it in applications
right click and select go to process
set priority on high.....
or again .. use server checker .. it makes things easy!

Use serverchecker for one...
then get a dedicated box and run your server as a service on it instead. This will reboot the server right away on crash and is much more stable.
Your lag is from playing on the same machine as the server is. That is for sure.

Servercheck keeps restarting my Server for no apparent reason !!
what should i do ?
guys gimme good numbers to put in .. startup time, timeout, pause !!! it keeps restarting ...
maybe it gets no reply from the server .. so it closes it and starts it again, which is very very bad!

Hey egg I think I know your problem
Server Checker Kept restarting my server once before to. I was simply taking my server to a lan and it kept rebooting! However I did notice one thing, if the IP to the server is WRONG then it will not work correctly. Dont know your Lan IP? Simply blank (delete all txt) in the IP line and hit "Update" The program will automatically fill it in with the correct IP. I would suggest setting your computer ot have a static IP so this does not happen again.

I do have a static IP and i am sure i have it + the port right. i'll try that ... but i think it has to do with startup time and timeout and pause... i gotta higher the values ! i did and it worked fine a bit then on map change it restarted it .. there should be an option to disable auto recovery, caue i'm only using serverchecker as a launcher and pingbooster.
I tried my best to leave the ip Blank but it just wont happen lol (Error Resolving host , invalid port !)

yea, you need a different box running the server. but you could just set all the times really high in server checker.

Well Atom server checker is a program used for making sure if the server is still running or not, as it can crash from errors.
Sorry, but I dont have a link for you now, but I will post one soon or skeletor will beat me too it.
As with your lag, can you explain your set up in as much detail as possible.
