Okay, since a lot are asking if their computer can RUN half-life 2, I'll be posting the minimum and recommended system requirements. If you're asking if your pc can play this game on a good fps rate, read the recommended requirements. Anyway, can someone make this a sticky? I'm not sure if I can do that...


Minimum System Configuration
1.2 GHz Processor
256MB RAM
DirectX 7 capable graphics card (64 MB or higher)
Windows 2000/XP/ME/98
Mouse
Keyboard
Internet Connection
CD or DVD rom drive

Preferred System Configuration
2.4 GHz Processor
512MB RAM
DirectX 9 capable graphics card
Windows 2000/XP/ME/98
Mouse
Keyboard
Internet Connection
CD or DVD rom drive (retail version only)

Hope this clears things up and saves the time for people to answer questions...

Glad to see this thread has been stickied. Hope it works though... there are still some people who just like to post and post and post...

im not tryin 2 piss you off, but i just need sum advice, at the mo i gotta pny geforce fx 5200pci abd ive already guessed that its guna be bollocks with upcumin games, us wondered if a geforce 6600 gt would make a considerable differnce. Thnx

Don't worry about it, no one's going to get mad and it's quite nice that you posted on THIS thread and didn't make a NEW thread based on this topic. Anyway, yes that card will make a difference. But you can still run HL2 on your 5200.

Um... Half-Life 2. Dude, seem like you're kind of lost.
