Maybe your computer is not good enough to run it properly?

Turn off AO in render settings, if you haven't already.

I'm using VMWare Fusion to run SFM. It lag and it's impossible to work on the software. It's also a Windows XP. What I do?

I have a Windows 7 and when I turned off AO it bumped up a bit, but nothing like 30 fps.

Your clock speed is way under the minimum requirement.

1.80 is less than 3.00.

What I would recommend for being able to make decent SFM with about 14fps of live rendering

What I have:
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 5450
Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 635 Processor (quad core ~2.9 GHz)
RAM: 8GB
OS bit: x64 bit
OS: Windows 10

My GPU is outdated but i can still run sfm just fine.
It also helps to get a boost (for me at least) of 5fps using Razor Cortex game booster to free up RAM and processes.

I hope this helps
