Ping Increases And Fps Drops?

AMD 1ghz
32MB ATI allinwonder
320MB sdram
DSL connection


Whenever i join a game i start out with 50-70 FPS and with a 70 PING .After about 5 minutes of playing my FPS decreases to 4 and my ping raises to 300?
I know it has nothing to do with players joining and equipment being built because i tried a lan game and just stood there and watched the FPS and the ping change <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->


Even when i tried a lan games and set the sv_cheats to 1 so i could be the commander and build my FPS drooped and the ping went up.......even on a lan game?

I read through the topics here and didn't see anyone having this problem?

I tried changing setting but nothing seems to stop this from happening.

I play CS with a 90-99 FPS and a 80 ping.

Anyone out there that can help me with this?

I like the look of the game and would love to be able to play it!

I think my computer does this too sometimes... I am guessing it is just because it is being fed so much info... building all sorts of new stuff... even if you join towards the end of the game this could happen because it already loads everything... so it may not be a problem until people are placing new structures up..


just a guess there though. <!--emo&::onos::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tiny.gif'><!--endemo-->


My FPS will drop to 4 on ns_caged after a few minutes (only seems to happen on caged) and the pign will go way up... It is normaly 150-400, but it goes up to 3000 sometimes... 1400 isnt rare... strange for having DSL and the fact this only happens on NS_caged... no matter what server, I c an sit out for awhile and when the map changes it plays fine.. throught the whole map.



edit:
I have 30FPS normally however and it rarely goes down to 4, never seen 3.

here's my comp:
AMd k6/2 500mhz
256MB SDRAM (pc133) kingston
Xtasy geforce 4 MX420 PCI (don't have agp)
Onboard sound
13GB HD
Acer V75m Mobo
Lite on 48X CD Rom
sony 4X CDRW
floppy disk
350Watt PSU
Earthlink DSL
CTX PL5 color Monitor 15"

OS:Windows 98SE








I would serouisly suggest system matience.. there must be some reason that systemn is going slow.. run virus scanners, adaware, check programs in CTRL+ALT+del, defrag, clean registry, ect ect....


there is no way it should drop down to 3 FPS.

I tried all that........unistalled redundant programs.....cleared the run programs and...scan disk and defrag the drive and i ran norton 2002 antivirus <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

i will try the adware becuase that i didn't check

hopefully that will work?

I download lavasoft and had a clean out and then played again last night

After a while i found a server and played for about 4hours with a 60ping and 40FPS

Thanks for that <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
