The lord of the lags

Dear diary,
I have a problem. I don't mean the drinking problem, I can handle that one. No, since I started playing ET again a couple of months ago, I've been experiencing terrible lags, every second of every day. At first the culprit was easy to spot, my stupid roommate and his pornography addiction made my lagometer go rollercoaster. But since it's lecture free time atm, and noone except me is around to abuse our bandwidth, I get more and more frustrated. The problem does not seem to be the connection this time, my ping fluctuates between 30 and 60 which should be perfectly fine. The problem is severe FPS drops which occur in every single map, and snowy/huge maps make it even worse. As soon as I step outside or as an enemy shows up, I get 10-25 fps, which makes playing impossible and annoying. I already lowered my settings to the lowest possible values, doesn't help. After talking to S!dor I switched to ET Legacy, but that didn't help either (but it was that bad before, so that's not the reason). My laptop should be able to play an old fvcker like ET, I bought it new in 2012 and newer games like Left 4 dead 2 run smoothly. The graphic card's driver is updated to the newest version (Intel HD graphics Family btw) and as switching to Legacy reset my cfg, so there shouldnt be any problems with bad settings either. Of course, I tried changing the classics like /com_maxfps, /cl_maxpackets and so forth already.
SO PLEASE DIARY, I'M SO DESPERATE. SEND AN ANGEL TO HELP ME, OTHERWISE I NEED TO FIND A NEW HOBBY OR, EVEN WORSE, GET A LIFE
Sad regards,
Polaris

Maybe the driver is too updated? Running et on a single core might improve somewhat.
If your computer is good enough and internet as well maybe you should check if something is interfering with your et connection? Maybe for a comparison, the website runs on the same host, you could check if that is slow as well.
