How much do you wanna spend? Your ram is fine but you definetly need a new video card. You can find Geforce4 TI4200's for around $100 bucks on newegg.com now. Your cpu should be ok but I would also say that 2ghz will be what you need for optimal performance.

Do you guys smell what I smell? I smell an AMD fanboy. A 2.4c Pentium beats a 2800+ in most benchmarks. :eek:

Geforce 4 > Geforce 3

It depends on whether you have an AMD or Intel chip also. But honestly 42celcius isn't that bad.

Dude, bumpmapping is used in pretty much the entire game. :dozey:

In reply to the original poster. Seriously you've got way too much time on your hands to be analyzing such small details. Do you think anyone is actuallly going to notice such a minute detail when the game is in motion? I didn't.

"Also the odd thing that the body did not fragment a bit, it should v been some body parts every where when the grenades exploded" Hmm, good point I never thought about that.

^^You do realize the 5600 Ultra is a dx9 card right?

Damn I forgot all about the Barney video. I love when Gordon tosses that grenade and that dudes body launches in the air and lands on the car in front of him.

I'll have to say Tunnells. The water effects are simply amzing and the music was perfect, allthough I really loved the fast paced music in bugbait even though there wasn't that much. This game is going to sound great!

Man I really liked the music on this video. The strider video is going to be awesome!

The 5600 Ultra with the flip chip outperforms the 9600 pro.

2.4ghz

The 9200 pro is not even close to a TI4400

I just upgraded a few parts because of HL2. I'll be running it on: XP Pro 2.4c P4 800mhz FSB/Hyperthreading Technology Intel D865PERL Motherboard 512mb Kingston HyperX DDR333 Geforce4 TI4400 Soundblaster Live 5.1 I'm not concerned about AA/AF, I just wanna run the game at 1024x768...

Dude, no one knows!

That looks freakin awesome!

hehe, I'm the exact opposite. I've always been an intel+nvidia guy.

Right now is a good time to upgrade. The new P4c chips aren't too expensive and they'll last you a very long time.

That video has been out for a long time.
