Figured this is the place to ask about this kind of thing. TL;DR ahead

So, my new computer decided to ultimately ragequit life a while ago. Now I'm stuck with my old comp from 2003.

TF2 runs on it, though I have everything set to low (except the model detail is set to medium for some reason).

My question is, are there any ways to let me enjoy TF2 on this 2003 piece of shit without my framerate dropping to 5 to 10 frames per second as soon as a huge clusterfuck of players and projectiles happen?

I also don't know how to computer in the least.

Here are the specs of this old thing:

Graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 3600 Series

CPU: Intel Celeron 1.8 Ghz (not overclocked)

3 GB ram

Windows 7 x86

If there are any other specs needed to be posted, I'll add them. Like I said, no idea how to computer.

Thanks in advance.

The CPU is horribad. You could try a config that improves fps by removing all unnecessary crap (such as Chris' maxframes or highframes) but you will probably still get fps drops. FB is having issues at the moment so I dumped maxframes from my cfg folder at http://pastebin.com/TCAs4NVt. Keep in mind that if you don't modify it, it will disable sprays, eyes and ragdolls/gibs. Here's an installation guide if you're not sure how to do it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQfvyjGjhMg
