What is the difference between "Counter Strike" and "Counter Strike Source?"

Do they play at a different speed? Why have both of them?

Thanks

Depends on your HW setup :)

Why go from pacman to 3d based games?

CS:S is a remake of CS using the Source engine which was a massive
update over the previous one with physics, graphics, lighting etc.

The original is still very popular so its still available. It plays
quicker online on lower spec PC's because of the lower graphics etc
requirements

CounterStrike is the HL1 engine version. CounterStrike Source uses the
HL2 engine. <g>

Well, it's both the Source engine, at any rate, which differentiates it
from CS and HL1 which use a heavily modded Quake engine. <g>

Counter strike source works better with steam and has better graphics.
