The SAS model is pretty solid which just reminds me of a slightly changed blue version of the others. As for the Leet Krew model, well it seems well optimised - the only problems i have with it is the bluetooth headset looks a little weird and he looks like George Michael to me. The 2 minor gameplay fixes will not have pleased many people looking for the performance fix that CSS really needs however Valve are working on it and if you are part of the friends beta you should have noticed some changes as it has applied mat_forcemanagedtextureintohardware. This helps a little with the FPS problems and eradicates the stuttering problem that has plagued many for a while. If you are not familiar with the friends beta I then click this link to get instructions from steamreview.org.

You don't need any more precisely because of the caching system that causes (or should I say caused) the problems! That heap is fine.

If it were just the G-man's speech patterns, well, then why would I have thought it was new from before I turned the option on? ;) Heap size is listed as 256 MB. Given that I have 1.5 GB of RAM, shouldn't it be bigger? And if so, how do I increase it? (I'm definitely video card limited--2.8 GHz P4, 1.5 GB RAM, but only a Radeon 9000. On the other hand, I'm only running at 800x600, so it shouldn't be too bad....) If you mean the way Gman talks, than that isn’t anything wrong with your PC.

But when he said "(mainly during the G-man’s speech)" I thought of that first. :D Either one could explain it. But when he said “(mainly during the G-man’s speech)” I thought of that first. :D

It should say in the console. It's amazing how much more fun Source games are now they are smooth. I've played chunks of HL2 and the whole of Lost Coast and Minerva; it's like they are brand new. Oh, and don't you mean <a href="http://www.hlcomic.com/index.php?date=2005-07-22">http://www.hlcomic.com/index.php?date=2005-07-22</a> Wizpig? ;-) How big is your heap, Andy?
