If anyone wants real information on this topic there is more detail here
(with source code):

Who ever that dude was with the box that supposedly wasn't running a
high res timer, load this for proof:

Now, when you have finished contradicting yourself "there's nothing
extra apart from some monitoring scripts.... server is just running some
game server, no scripts...". You might want to check this out:
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/ProcessExplorer.html
So that you can find out what's really running on your server.

Why does everyone just speak so damn fast? Anyone tried google? oh yeah,
that fails because so many morons already spoke too soon and the forums
are filled with crap information. Please don't replicate that here - no
one here has a need for forum level crap. I came here with the hope of
finding high level technologists. A few of you have made this close to
true, but please guys, try and get your terminology facts and questions
stated professionally. And FYI, one such example, the person who wanted
the nav scripts - the batch I gave him took less time to write than most
of your mails did, and which attempted to actually solve the problem?
Get it? good. There is no need for a pissing contest, this is a general
plea for turning this list back into the resource it should be.

Thanks.

Sounds like I must have, but I've checked server and there's nothing extra
running apart from some scripts monitoring servers (virus checker etc in
background monitoring but thats about it). Server is just running some game
servers, no scripts, no webpages, nothing. Must be something doing it though
if thats the case.
Out of interest if a simple program can enable it, why doesn't valve just
add a bit of code to enable it anyway, or am I missing something?

Running a flash app, eggdrop, streaming media, or such will do the trick.
U have something like that running I'm sure, clean windows install won't
get

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.

Thanks James, im sure you could tell what i know what i mean - im just
not
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.
