When I play Source it feels like my system is about to die. I play the original Half-Life 2 just fine with good framerate. Does Source take more resources? What should I do? im running on a Radeon x300.

maybe it's just really high ping on the server you're playing on.

I am assuming you mean Counter Strike: Source. Anyway, CS:Source is more demanding since it has to do all the work required by the Source engine and keep tallies on all the people on the server. Even with a really good server, CS:S will never run as smooth as HL2. Make sure you have the most up to date drivers for your card and find a a server with a reasonable ping.
Also, what are your other specs of your machine besides your video card?
yea I have this same problem I just gave up and played 1.6
