Post here about the computer upgrades you're going to purchase just for the release of the precious. :imu:

I'm getting a Pentium 4 3.2GHz processor, and an extra couple sticks of 512MB Ram.

Your turn.

I upgraded to a GeForce 6800GT from an FX5900. I have 1GB of RAM on a P4 3.2. Been playing Halo PC at 1600x1200 for a while. I hope I can do the same with Half-Life 2.

I did the budget upgrade and got a new motherboard with a 2.6 GHz P4 processor. An extra 512 MB ram, and a GeForce FX5200. All totalling $250. I was a little concerned about the video card, but I just ran the CS: S video stress test and got 60 FPS. So I'm stoked!
