The computer that I use the most can't run Half-life over 30fps when in 1024x768. It's almost constant 60fps in 640x480. What kind of hardware deficiency do I have?
Specs:
2.6 Ghz
1.00 GB RAM
Nvidia Gfx Card, not sure which one. My computer's not available atm.
Fps Issues

thats so helpful. the only piece of information we need and you're "not sure" about it. also be more specific about the CPU, although i doubt it's the problem. since it's HL1, you either have a computer from 1999, or you have a virus or something.

I should've done this some other time when I actually had my computer available at the time so just close the thread sorry to waste your time guys.

My 6 year old laptop with a 16MB integrated graphics card runs Half-Life at 30 FPS. I'd say this is a serious problem if your modern desktop performs the same. 
I can only hope that you didn't do something stupid like upgrade your RAM and CPU as high as possible in a really old computer, leaving the rest of the system unchecked.

Bad GFX drivers too perhaps? Anyhoo, we need deets on the card.

If you have a Intel "Celeron" processor... you've got some major problems, because the on-board L2 cache is so low... but I believe the REAL big problem comes from the <b>graphics card</b>.
If you're running XP or less... 1GB of RAM running HL1 shouldn't be that big of an issues.
If you're on VISTA... ROFL... you probably can't run any other applications other than your desktop.
But yeah, we need the graphics card model number to give better suggestions.

I used to run HL1 in 800x600 at 30-40fps with a 166Mhz Pentium1 MMX with a 4MB Voodoo1 graphics card.

It was cutting edge back when I had it.
It just didn't stay cutting edge for long.

If you're on Vista then it's probably because of shitty drivers.

What mode are you running half-life in?

Fuck Vista.
Mode? OpenGL.
I'll reveal all by Sunday or something. I dunno. I'm lazy.

From what I gathered these are crap.
Moar information?

That should easily run HL1 with decent FPS.

Oh no it can run HL alright, just not at 1024x768,
It drops to 30 fps.
But yes, probably time for format, haven't done that in... a while.
