Vista - Half Life 2 issues

Hi guys, i just loaded HL2 onto my new laptop and the video is very choppy.
I have search all over for fixes, yet everything I have tried has not
worked. Has anyone had similar issues and ultimately fixes?

experience. Half Life's Physics engine takes a lot of CPU horse power and
Video Horse power that notebooks simply lack.

Unless you have a REALLY high end gaming notebook, good luck dude. And no, a
notebook Dual Core processor is nowhere near as fast as a desktop dual core,
and I won't even go into the video limitations.
