Is my machine good enough for HL2/CS:S?

Hi,

I wasn't sure where to post this, so I'll post it here and in the technical forum. Anyway, today I bought HL2 and CS:S together as part of the HL2 Game of the Year Edition pack. I have it still seasled, so can get a refund - the reason I am worried about opening it is that I don't know if my machine will run it.

My machine is a Pentium 4 3.0GHz, with 1Gig RAM, which I gather is fine. However, I only have an Integrated Intel Graphics Accelerator 3000. This appear to fulfil the requirement on the box, of being Direct X compatible, but I dont' want to open the game if it's not going to run properly, or very sluggishly, although I don't mind if the graphics aren't running at top quality or anything.

So will my PC be able to handle HL2 and CS:S? Any advice much appreciated!
 
Should be. And even if the seal is opened, you should still be able to return it with the receipt saying ITS NOT WORKING. Bah cheap. Open it i say. If you're honest you cant return it.
 
never heard of a 3000 only the 900 but i looked it up and that card should run the game top notch. this is acctually the first integrated card ive ever heard of with pixel shader 3.0. its close to the equivilent of a 6600 series card.
 
Well as long as it won't look like a pixellated mess - I don't really see the point in buying a graphics card as the only three games I play are HL, CS, and Football Manager (which is hardly graphics heavy).
