Well besides download the latest drivers and running NS in 16 bit instead of 32 that may help a bit.
Also run the resolution at 800x600 maybe?
There also might be something in your bios that allows you to convert some of your ram on your cpu to shared memory for the onboard videocard, not sure how that works. I never had an onboard card, but I've heard theres a way you can do that, just not sure how.
Thx, ill try to find out how that works <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />
Yeah, which on board chipset it is? nForce? Intel?
FPS improvements are quite easy on HL... if the boards not that old then you will get pretty decent framerates anyway. Reduce texture quality to 16bit, and run on a lower resolution.
There are also tweaks you can make to your driver settings, but without knowing which drivers you use, it would be hard to give you any advice there.

There are certain ones that just suck.
Intel's and ati's seem to be the better ones.
