CS (Condition Zero and 1.6) lagging horribly even on Wired connection
I just got my new Internet connection installed, 512 kbps download. I know that's damn slow, but should be able to run CS right? According to speedtest my latency is 3 on Wired and 7 on WiFi. I was using Wired when I tried to play CS. My latency was about 45~50 but my game lagged horribly.
Is there any way to get rid of the lag? Or is my internet's speed isn't good enough? I'm running CS at the lowest resolution.
BTW my PC specs-
Intel i3 M350 (First Gen)
Intel HD Graphics 1696 MB (again, First Gen)
6 GB RAM
500 GB HDD
Windows 8.1 PRO x64
Its a laptop, not to mention quite old.

Why is my counter strike source lagging?
Counter Strike Source doesn't have any high requirements so your that means your PC is not the problem. The real reason for the lag must be your internet connection. You must be getting very high ping. Ping is speed at which the game data gets transferred to the server and comes back.How to decrease latency on Counter Strike?
As many suggest, the first best possible thing you can do to reduce CS:GO lag is switched yourself to a wired internet connection. Secondly, though quite distinct but always remember to close background downloading software or applications that might leech your bandwidth.Counter strike condition zero fixing lag problem
