Provided you are reading the right data, which I assume you are, then
I'm afraid there are no two ways about it, you have a high resolution
timer running.
The cause of this could be any other piece of software on the system,
starting a flash file would do it for example. There are many ways to
get a high res timer, the amusement of the CS community using media
player or flash files is merely an oddity of the community at large.
(damn forums).
Let me just assure you once again however, this isn't a mistake, your
system IS running a high res timer, and this IS created by a third party
app being introduced. If you still don't believe it, do a fresh install
with quite literally nothing but the OS and source. Don't load a web
browser (no flash allowed) just load srcds. You will then get different
results.

Hiya, what I'm saying is I get 500 fps with no need for any timer and no
enhancements to the o.s (and fwiw the media player or boost fix doesn't
raise it above that if fps_max is set way higher, but it obviously does for
some other people). I'm not complaining, or looking for a fix! I'm just
pointing out according to the thread I should only get 64 or 1000 (I get 64
unless I set fps_max 600, then its a constant 500), so it may be worth
quantifying that its not always the case in the thread and some people may
be able to get 500. Why it is for some I have no idea, guessing its
different o.s flavours.
I do appreciate people trying to help me though, but its not required, just
pointing out a possible mistake :). I'm totally fine with 500fps.

100% of the correct terminology :P

What you require is actually called a "high resolution timer" typically
many operating systems have no need to time interrupts on such a
frequent basis, however srcds needs around a 1000Hz timer to achieve
this fps.
The reason for the srcdsfpsboost/media player references is that one of
the programatically easiest ways to get a high res timer from the NT
kernel is to load certain media libraries.
