i got vista with a 518 and it doesn't lag at all, i use drivers though since i can't get the correct sensitivity w/o them.


Quick question btw, does anyone who have an mx 518 use the dpi buttons at all?

He claims that you can get windows xp from the windows vista disc...?

is this true?

I have a Dual Core 4400+ 2.6Ghz CPU, 3GB of RAM, an 8800GT OC, use an MX518 and run Windows Vista. I play 1.6, CZ, and CSS. I find that when I first launch CS I have problems with jerkiness/lag symptoms that last usually around 6-10 rounds before finally going away. After that.. no problem. If I exit out of the game and restart it the lag returns for another 6-10 rounds. I searched and found some information below that might help. I'll be trying it tonight to see if it works:

* try right click css icon go to properties go to compatibility tab and
* make its running for xp sp2
* disable visual themes
* disable desktop composition
* disable display scaling on high DPI settings

CS feels "laggy" to me awhen I have VSYNC enabled. For this reason I set VSYNC to FORCE OFF.
