first of all the main problem is going to be the fact ur running a server and playing on the same comp!
css will try to overrun srcds and u will end up with a very laggy server!
but u could try setting the prioraties in the list move srcds up to hign proirity from window task manager and hl2 down 2 below normal!
that way u might be able to run it sort of respectably. but i would need more info on ur intet connection speed to be able to give u a accurate answer!

K thanks to you I got a better idea.

I have a desktop computer where i play (computer listed above)

and a laptop which I almost never use (can stay on 24/7) BUT the laptop has about half of the specs as the desktop.

here are the specs.
================================================================================​==================================
CONNECTION:
-same as above cable

COMPUTER SPECS: (as shown in system properties)
Microsoft Windows XP
Home Edition
Version 2002
Service Pack 2

Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.80 GHz
2.79 GHz, 512MB of RAM
================================================================================​===================================
So what would be better.

A) running it on laptop with nothing else running
or
B) running it on desktop with CS:S and Ventrillo running?

also which ever it is what are good
tick
sv_maxrate
sv_maxupdaterate
fps_max

for the computer I should use it on

thanks in advance

First of all what is your connection speed (talking about upload here)

second, that laptop will do just fine for a server, only thing you'll have to do is restart it everyday to clear the RAM because 512 is kinda low but enough.

The laptop will run 66 tick indeed, even 100, but the connection won't hold Wink
