...run css better? Hey, my graphics card is a mobile intel 4 series express chipset family and i have the intel graphics media accelerator for my laptop. There is a 3d settings box on the graphics media accelerator and when i click it it comes up with the following:

Asynchoronous flip : Off
Triple Buffering : Defualt
Flipping Policy: flip
Depth buffer bit depth: Defualt
Force S3TC Texture Compression:Off
Force FXT1 Texture Compression: Off
Driver Memory Footprint: Normal
Texture Colour Depth: Desktop Colour Depth
Anisotropic Filtering: Application Control

How can i optimise these settings to run Counter Strike Source better?
 
Intel's graphics chipsets leave a lot to be desired. CS:S might run on it but nowhere near the capacity of a good nVidia card. Best bet is to turn off every "pretty" you can and turn down as much as you can. Your frame rate should improve. Use the Video Benchmark test built into CS:S to see how well it performs, it will probably help you adjust the settings. You might want to check steampowered forums to see if there is a howto on tweaking CS:S graphics for lightweight video cards - that's the beauty of valve's Source engine - it's amazingly scalable.
