2. I found my heat sync, and my heat sync fan wasnt even on the sync, it was just dangling in my computer, so i cleaned it and stuck it on the heat sync (facing it)
3. THE LAG IS DEAD!!! thank you herm, i started up my server, and i played for four minutes ctf on face, no lag. Usually the lag hits me like every two minutes or so, so i played one of hook's ctf map for 12 minutes and no lag, i think its safe to say its gone!

also played on a bt server for 15 minutes, no periodic lag, yay.
4. d3d driver works fine but i cant maximize my screen, it just goes back into a tiny window.
5. now what?
