Hey guys, will this computer be able to run HL2 on full specs at a pretty good resolution? Here it is:
AMD Athlon 64 3700+, Socket 754, 1MB L2 Cache
Corsair Value Select 184 Pin 512MBX2 DDR PC-320
GIGABYTE "GA-K8NS" nVidia nForce3 250 Chipset Motherboard
eVGA nVidia GeForce 6800GT Video Card, 256MB GDDR3
Hitachi 160GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive

Well if you have the game, find out!
And I think this would be more appropriate on the Steam Forums, they could answer your question with much more accuracy I think. But I'd say you could, might be a little slow at times though.

It could, don't know at what FPS though.

The weird thing about HL2 is I don't think there are any computers yet that could run it flawlessly at full settings :)

There are some computers... except they might cost more than your car :D

I have an amd 64 3200+ w/ ATI 9800 pro, I run on medium/high settings at 1024x786 with very little below 50-60fps.

Good enough for me :)

Hell yah it would.
I got full spec on a Athlon Xp 3200+ some Asrock pos mobo
512mb DDDR 3200
Radeon 9600 Se.
I get 40fps non-stop.

I doubt you get 40...

9600 SE?
3200 XP?
512mb?

My lil bro (7 years) has a 2500 Barton overclocked to 3200, w/ 9600 Pro, and 1024mb and he runs on medium settings with 40-50fps.

SE = Worse than pro
Barton = Roxors
1024 > 512

I tweaked the computer for gaming...

Just saying I doubt you're doing a constant 40... maybe topping at 40... and are you just playing single player or DM?

Yes, it will run full specs, prolly to 1280x1024.......

I can do 1024x768 (moniter dosn't do better....) all HIGH at 4xAA and 16xAF with 80-100FPS
on a:

XP2500+ @ 2.51Ghz
512mb DDR at 218 2-2-2-11
GeForce 6800Ultra Extreme 256mb
Abit NF7
Audigy 2

that rig has a much better CPU....so your good

It will run HL2 as it is with little problem on full settings. However valve is releasing a dynamic lighting package as an update that will bog down even the best machines. You are supposed to be able to see the little specs of dust floating in a beam of light cutting through a dark room.

My comp will run it on high settings with the AA and AF kicked down a tad.

Doom 3 on the other hand, I don't think there is any computer than can run it at a high res with Ultra settings. IIRC, Ultra is made for 512mb video cards.
