first off, my set-up

ViewSonic G90FB-2
Abit IS7
ATI Radeon All-In-Wonder 9700 Pro (3.6/3.5 Cats)
512 MB pc3500 Corsair
P4 2.8C
WD2000JB on Promise ATA 100 Controller (only until tonight, its getting taken off!)

now then, in HL/DOD/CS/etc my frames appear to be locked at 72 fps. whenever they try to dip because of textures, whatnot, the number flickers and then goes back to 72. this occurs in both Direct3d at 1280x960 (max) and OpenGL at 1600x1200 (max) with all different range of quality settings (i.e. AA and AF). anyone know what it is thats preventing me from passing 72 fps? not that i would probably see a difference anyway, but i feel like i should be doing a better job of showing people up :-D

    I will repeat that the engine is hard-locked at 99. Having been a member of several mods in Half-Life history, I would know this first hand.
