Is your PC ready for Half life 2?

[Dead-Inside]

Im looking into a laptop for college... and i want to be able to play HL2. Would this run it nicely?

AMD Athlon 64 3000+
1024 MB Ram
80GB HD
ATI 9700 Pro

If you could up the Vid-card to either 9800 Pro or XT or x800 Pro or XT.

[AJ Rimmer]

AMD Athlon XP 2600+ 2,13 GHz
512 mb RAM
GeForce 4 MX440 64 MB <--sucks but it'll work. I may be able to swipe my dads TI4600 128 MB

 

[KillaH]

3.0 Ghz pentium 4
512mb pc 3200 (upgrade to 1024 mb not too far away)
radeon 9600XT (never used aa and never will use it untill i have my own high end machine)

 

[JohnnyBeverage]

I'm as ready as i can be right now.
2.66 Ghz processor
768 megs of PC2700 ram
Ti4200 128 meg video card

The video card is holding me back but unfortunately mortgages, kids, pets, wife are getting in the way of the 9800pro i want. But there is Christmas, and a bonus check coming up. Hopefully i can use some of that to get a better card. But regardless i will enjoy the game as much as the card allows me.

Kage, get a better graphcard.

AMD XP 2600+ 1.9 Ghz

Everything is ok besides my graphics card I believe, but from reading this forum I see the Radeon 9800 Pro is the way to go and thats probably what I will have by the time HL 2 is released.

P4 2.53

Welcome To The Forums!

And yeah, the new card should sort you out.


I myself am ready. Check my sig!

 

[Mevoki]

I'm ready! But something has happned to my comp when I was in scotland. When I came home I only got 4400 3d marks in 3Dmark 03 Before I went away I got 5200. I don't want to formate it to maintain performance...

 

[ThaDon]

i only have 1 minus, its my cpu, its only a AMD 1800+ that sucks ass. Else is my computer prepared for maximum details

 

[Brian Damage]

Well, since everyone seems to be posting their specs:

AMD XP 2400+ @ 2GHz
512 MB
Radeon 9600 Pro 256 MB
Some built-in sound card that seems to work just fine (Plus one speaker that thinks it's a rice bubble).

I think I should be okay...

 

[KagePrototype]

Kage, get a better graphcard.

Why bother? There's no need. I'm fine for HL2. I'm slightly more worried about Doom 3 really.

[Ninjer]

I'm just waiting for my damn X800 Pro to come out here. Then i can start playing it baby.


2.80ghz, 512 pc2700 ram will be enough wont it? if u include the card i ordered?

The 9800 pro will perform better in HL2 than the 96..

Yes, but I don't need it for HL2 to run well. There's no point if it will run well already.

 

[RaBiD WeAzEL]

My computer I'm using right now won't be able to run Half-Life 2 very well, HOWEVER... Tomorrow I go to Teletronics, and there I will pick out my brand new computer... It'll go in my room, and it'll be BUILT for Half-Life 2... *whipes saliva dipping from his lower lip*...

Thx for the tip!

 

[Geno]

is it possible to play HL2 on a laptop?

Heck, i'm stupid, i don't even know what graphics card I have, where do you check that kind of thing?

 

[ShinRa]

i would never play an fps on a laptop without a mouse....and even then itd deteriorate so much of the experience from playing it on a pc.

 

[Geno]

if you had a mouse, how would it deteriorate from the experience?
