My expectations might actually be met - needless to say, I'm wet.

Re: Half-Life 2

go on google and download the 600mb demo video file, OMG, i cant wait for this game, halo2 probably blows compared to this. nothing like gaming on a PC.

true dat! 1280x1024 (limited by my damn 19" lcd) owns... even though xbox and console games in general really do shine.. mario world on gamecube via highdef seriously looks amazing..

i have a 3100 w/ 256mb 9700 and 1gig of ram and its as smooth as a babies bottom, but I would expect it to with such a new computer. i'm sure you can scale it down for lesser computers but daaaamn does it look good.

Re: Half-Life 2

Re: Half-Life 2

It's supposed to be playable with a TNT2 but it will look like HL1

The realistic min requirements I've read are p.15ish, 256 ram, Gforce4 or ati 9500ish.

My radeon 9800 pro was 270 bucks. You can get a pretty good 9600 pro for around 150ish. Damn bart - my old linux server has a GF4 in it, they can be had for like 20 bucks.

Re: Half-Life 2

Ive got a p4 2.8e w/1.5gb ram, sata drives and a 9800XT vid card (moved the 9800pro to muh secondary game machine (one buddies use when over)) I played D3 at pretty much max graphics so hopefully HL2 wont present any issues

Re: Half-Life 2

Looks good, wish they would console it....I don't want to buy another dumputer to support it....mines just a 1.6gig p4 512RAM, and who knows what vid card...but the screen on this dell laptop kinda sucks...
