So.. i bought counter-strike:source cause i'm a big fan of 1.6 so before i purchased it i got a new GFX card and some RAM to go alongside it

now i can play slightly decent scoring about 30 fps with a fps saver skin pack
20- fps on maps with higher detail

so..

what is the component that CS:S uses mainly?

type owned
---------------------
CPU P4 1.6 GHz
GFX Card GeForce Fx5500 256mb
RAM 512MB pc3200 wintec ampo


I'm pretty sure that it isn't the RAM because i checked task manager>processes and hl2.exe [counter-strike: source] only uses around 200000k of mem

However i'm concerned mainly about the CPU because i've heard that source engines are processor hungry.

new processor?
