to any people who play games based on the source engine e.g. HL2, CSS etc...

within the next week their will be an engine update, giving support to mulitple cores, hopefully stopping my stupid drop in frames. 
this is deffinatly be out by the 10th of october as that is the release date of the "orange box" containing HL2:EP2, TF2 and portal plus other titles. the engine update is to help with the new physics in EP2

either way, if you have a multi core system, look forward to a performance boost in the next week.
