I'm afraid that with the latest VALVe patch, Half-life 2 no longer supports this case. Sorry buddy

Microsoft Office Student Teacher Edition

That should pose a problem too...

You freaking kidding me?

OEM peripherals don't work with this game either.

Man you have a 3.5 floppy drive? I thought they were only a myth.

Also, what kind of computer desk / chair combo are you running? That may be the deciding factor.

I'd say it'd come down to his lamp shade imho

LOLOLOL

[Drackard]

"Will Half-Life 2 run on my toaster?" kicks into my head.

PS no it wont, you need at least a dx11 capable videocard. And 3.0 ghz? Welcome to 1990! We have Pentium 8 6.5 ghz. Golly.

Are you really wondering wether or not you'll run HL2 or do you just want to show off your computer?
If you're really wondering, then yeah, you'll run it fine on all high. But if you want HDR, you should buy another video card, and also two more gigabytes of ram. You should buy a new processor too, that one sucks.
kidding on that second part.
I have a computer that is half as good as yours and it runs HL2 on all high, no problem.

 

[Drackard]

Whats there to show off lol
