Last night I was looking at some sites to get me better fps' in DoDS for my desktop and laptop.
I found this at : http://www.gotfrag.com/dod/forums/thread/168994/
"I use this one and have similar system to yours with a64 and 6800 series card and can go over 100 fps easy, but I lock it at 75 because it doesnt really drop below that, so lock the fps at the low point for your system. I bet you go over 100 or lock at 90 no problem.

Launch Options
-dxlevel: Sets the DirectX level Source runs in.
You may find that setting this value lower than what your card can actually support to yield a performance increase. For example, a DirectX 9 card may run significantly faster in DirectX 8. Below is the recommended usage:
* -dxlevel 90 for DirectX 9, pretty but no benefit
* -dxlevel 81 for DirectX 8.1, my fav
* -dxlevel 80 for DirectX 8, lowest legal
* -dxlevel 70 for DirectX 7, dont get busted
-heapsize: Dedicates a specific amount of memory to Source.
Increasing the allotted memory can yield substantial performance gains. However, it is important that you dedicate the right amount of memory. Dedicating too much or too little could actually cause a performance decrease.
It is recommended you dedicate half of your system memory. Below is the recommended usage:
* 512MB System Memory: -heapsize 262144
* 1GB System Memory: -heapsize 524288
* 2GB System Memory: -heapsize 1048576
this in launch options: -dxlevel 81 - heapsize 524288 -novid -height 768 -width 1024 +exec autoexec.cfg "
I'd like to know which of these commands I should use to get the best fps' I can without my game looking like crap on my two computers:
desktop specs:
Dell Dimension DIME521
Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 SP2
AMD Sempron 3400+ 1.80 GHz
NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE Integrated Graphics GPU
512MB Single Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz - 1DIMM (soon to be 1.5gb ram)
160gb hard drive
laptop specs:
HP Pavilion tx1000z
Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit)
AMD Turion(TM) 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Technology TL-56 (1.8 GHz, 512KB+512KB L2 Cache )
2GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)
NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150
160gb hard drive
802.11b/g WLAN
thanks.
