there's really no point in trying to increase FPS on a hopelessly shit rig. Just go for the happy medium where you can still tolerate the reduction in graphics quality while still getting kills. Otherwise, yeah, play at 640x480 and rape if you can make out the targets between all the pixelation

I was about to say the same thing.
In your rig, it depends on which is worse - the processor or the graphics card. If the CPU is decent, but shit gpu (integrated) - lower the graphics resolution and turn down shadows/smoke/blur/effects. If gpu is good, but shit cpu - increase all. There's a ton of tricky config shit you can do that might help, but I'm talking MAYBE 10FPS on average once we're all done...

Model: Inspiron N7110
Windows 7 and yes, Aero is disabled.
The system is a year and 5 months old.
I try to sweep my free OS space every month or so. And only the Microsoft processes and the ones I need. (I use Razer Game Booster to close many of them.)
I hit f2 and I only saw that I have Interl (R) Core(TM) i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20GHz and 3192 MB of memory.

Probably Integrated. I didn't see that up there. And it is 64 bit.

Your i7 is rated for 2.2Ghz, up to 3.10Ghz with Turbo Mode. That's adequate for any Source game, I'm sure. You need to determine the graphics card you're running.
In Windows 7:
1 ) Right-click on the desktop background->Click "Screen Resolution"
2 ) Bottom right in blue writing->Click "Advanced Settings"
From here, you can determine if you're got any sort of discrete graphics and how much of it. You'll also see the model of the graphics card you're running (Intel HD, or Nvidia/AMD). From here, we can try to see what we can do to help you out.

Ok, you have no graphics card (GPU). You're currently running the CPU's HD 3000, which actually isn't too bad for basic games. There's not much you can do improve your fps because of this. All the settings in the world will only give you MAYBE 2-3 fps. Not worth your time.
