-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] We have Windows 2003 (fully patched) and we don't get the big fps boost unless we use Windows Media Player or a pingboosting program of some sort. We are using Dual Xeons though. It also has exactly the same effect on my Windows XP Pro machine as well. So it would be nice to know how people get 500fps without knowingly changing the Windows Multimedia timer in some form. What other services are you running on the box? Perhaps that is the cause? And you are being ping boosted without your knowledge? Hell, maybe Windows SRCDS changed recently to finally address this issue, and Valve forgot to tell us, who knows?
