Sorry if it's old, someone just told me that link in an IRC channel. It's not official, so it may not be 100% accurate. I need a better vid card and more ram ;/

    Well, it says I probably need a new video card, but I oughta be able to run it at 800x600. So I'm happy, because I'm raising money for a new VC. Yay!

    I've got plenty of money to buy the best video card, but then I ask myself, do I really need it ?

    How about buying one for me?

    He wouldn't buy it for you! He'd get it for me, being he wouldn't have to pay for shipping!(same area)

    Step 1. Create system checker without knowledge of actual HL2 requirments.
    Step 2. Give an 'Ok' to anyone who runs it.
    Step 3. Link to page to preorder HL2...
    Step 4. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->?
    Step 5. PROFIT!!!

    They're going by estimations that VALVe gave.

    Processor: Your processor is fine.
    Graphics : You should be able to play in 1024x768 depending on your card, consider upgrading if you have an older chipset such as GeForce 3 Ti
    System Memory: You have enough RAM
    Operating System: You will be able to play on Win XP.
    Architecture: No Problems

    P4 2.6ghz
    9800 Pro
    512 DDR, <i>probably</i> going to upgrade to 1GB.

    As long as I can get a constant 60fps on this machine, I will be happy.

    By the way, I didn't realize there were 512 meg vid cards.

    That's probably because they expected most ME users to have wandered off...perhaps into heavy traffic. Or possibly drowned themselves while drinking Sunny D.

    Consider yourself lucky, liku. Consider yourself <i>lucky</i>.

    Chip type. You're 32-bit. 16-bit is old, and 64 bit is not widespread.

    Only thing I have worries about is with my Ti4400. Other than that, I think I'm fine.

    The companies that make video cards what you to believe you do. My Geforce4Ti 4200 128 will run HL2 at 1024x768 according to <a href='http://www.half-life2.org.uk/check.php' target='_blank'>http://www.half-life2.org.uk/check.php</a>. I won't be upgrading. By the way, I spent 100 bucks on it only. GG.

    Sirus don't upgrade unless you get the game, THEN it sucks. If it runs bad with your curret...then upgrade. These evil corporate thugs make their billions by hyping things. Just upgrade afterwords only if you absolutely have to. I live like that cuz Im poor. But then again a fool and his money are soon parted <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Easily passed...

    I have:
    AMD Athlon 1700+@ 1.56 ghz
    512MB RAM
    GF4 Ti4200 128MB

    I don't plan to upgrade anytime soon though; probably the earliest would be next year; I plan to get the AMD Athlon FX

    The graphics card check is fatally flawe due to it just asking how much video memory your card has. For example I just upgraded a gentlemans computer retaining his existing graphics card because its a 256mb beast. However its a 256mb beast from a few years ago that for some reason has NO 3d acceleration at all. Also I had a 128 Radeon 7500 before I upgraded which it tells me I should be able to play at 1024, I couldn't play RTCW in anything higher than 800 on that card (then again this is when I was running a 600 celeron rig)
    But yeah, my new 2800+ rig will apparently run HL2 fine <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> which is good as I preordered it on Sunday \o/

    All's good.

    Except this onboard piece of !@#$ emachines calls a video card.
  • SoulSkorpionSoulSkorpion Join Date: 2002-04-12 Member: 423Members
    Whee. It'll run fine on my machine.

    Funny thing is, when I first got HL it ran only around 4 to 6 fps on my machine and I didn't even notice <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    CPU: Pentium 4 2.4ghz type B

    Ram: 512 stick from Crucial (PC2700)

    Vid Card: Chaintech GeForce4 FX5200 (Hell, it runs BF1942 with 53 bots at once, rendering giant battles easily)

    OS: WinXP - I love it. Die evil 98SE and your stupid non-seamless linking.

    Architecture: 32bit (I think)

    plus 3com Gigabit LAN card.

    I hope thats all true. I don't even play Half-Life 1 in 1024*768...
    I just kinda got used to 800*600.
    By the end of September I should have an XP 2600 and a gig of DDR
    ram to add to my specs.
