Danimal: It might be worth waiting with the purchase until the game has been out a few days. Chances are the forums will look like an electronic desert during those days but I´m sure someone with similar specs to yours will be able to tell you if the game runs well and how it looks at what settings.
Then, you can start to think about upgrading. Which is fun.

A forest without trees. Trees without leaf or needle. Silence without peace. A walk in solidarity, in a cold dark cage with no bars. Endless and timeless, howls from a distance too great to breach. Ice freezing the blooming flowers. From the path of light, stumbled into darkness, to and fro. A fire with no warmth. Then a path across a frozen plain. Winds thrashing, mind wandering. Taken the wrong path. Found but lost. Not before or after, but now. Paths ahead and behind not known. A friend that does not stay. A warmth that fills the day, then is filled again with the cold of night. Fear at every direction. Cry'z for help seem forgotten or not ready to reveal.
Indecisive and alone, there stands a path. That path houses many paths, maybe a path to an ends, maybe a path that is endless, forever a circle of nothingness. Food and thus hunger sustaining. Like everything an end must be found. Feed on the reminiscence of those gone, and that hope that something must follow. A life ready to freed, but can't find the means to break it's chains. Ones self missing the other half. A life without love.
Those of you with love, those of you who have someone to love, that loves you back. Don't forget or neglect them. You have been given a great gift. We sometimes forget howl lucky we are to have that person (or animal) in our livez. A walk into loneliness, a very deep pain that consumes your very heart at times. Or at least mine.
God chooses to only sustain you on his love so much as you need (as long as you accept him and his love). My needs are greater, thus there is something else out there for me, or possibly I need to have that need in order to complete something. Or thus it may be I need to come closer to God, for him to fill any voids left in my life. I do not fully know. I trust God, and have hope through God. He is my only crutch once my friends love cannot sustain the void inside. God's love is purest thing in my life. I lived with the pain of not being able to find him for 18 years, I can wait for anything else he may have to offer.

Temptation to open, yet the door in front of you is only one. There are many more clustered paths within, despite your first layered perceptions of reality. The hidden doors and paths endless. Do you so dare to tread these dark and misty pines unto the unknown? If so, cast aside your judgments, fear, safety and close-mindedness. For my nose rises to your scent and I greet you with a welcoming howl. But, will you stay as the darkening depths enter, as the truth is unveiled, with it's empty carelessness? Hardly is this place giving, sustained by only roots and spirit. Rare to catch a glimpse of a true friend, besides insanity. Hunted by demons of the past. If you so not dare, beware if you're even on the outskirts, for you would not want to be trapped in this lonely darkness of light. My paws endure, until the end of my physical quest, to help you all, and rest forever in the den of light. Beware...

BUTEMAM!
*ahem*
I think this might be one hell of a mental contagion- better move along. Still want to see a dang benchmark or similar made available to non CS:S owners; admittedly I've got a FX 5700, half a gig of ram and a 2000+, but I'm really paranoid when it comes to running games properly...

Welcome to the forums Steelsay!
A few words of advice, avoid the following people:
Halo 2 fanboys
Trolls
People who make multiple accounts to talk to themselves in a thread (Most likely to be 12 year olds)
And finally the elusive l337 h4Xx0r
And about what I need for the game, did you mean for low settings? Medium or High? I will put up a list of the requirements (Official?) and then this thread can be closed...
Minimum Requirements
* 1.2 GHz Processor
* 256MB RAM
* DirectX 7 level graphics card
* Windows 2000/XP/ME/98
Recommended System
* 2.4 GHz Processor
* 512MB RAM
* DirectX 9 level graphics card
* Windows 2000/XP
In conclusion, I am able to play on the lower settings because I am a small tad above the minimum. I got a friend to take screenshots of CS:S on the lowest settings in a high reseloution and the gfx are good enough for me :thumbs:
I would also like to take the chance to test some people on a short image pitcuring excersise:
Imagine and feel this. You see this image in the darkness a tired and lonely image one that is made to be the alpha, yet inside the image it longs to just be loved, by the ones who are it's family. It grows weary, it finds it's self doing the same thing everyday wanting to learn, grow and be alive with it's family, but is put out, and is to sleep outside, in the cold and in the darkness. Finding nothing, but to thrash his brother, taken to do things that are it's only means of pleasure, for it never knew what love really was. Yet inside, it well knew that it had not the love it so deserved, from it's family.
Who knows what this image is, what is it to you?.... Could it be yourself directly? Through another, trying to comfort yourself indirectly? Is it you and God? Is it someone you know? I tell you this, it is probably some aspect of you, whether you find it or not. It is your family, you can find as much meaning as you want, or none at all. You could say I'm wrong, you could say I'm right, but it doesn't matter. To me inside this is us all trying to escape ourselves, yet when I wrote this, I had just got done being with a dog... Feeling and connecting with him, finding that contentment, knowing he is what I described and knowing it is something he cherishes. I also realize a great many things from why we do things and how they tell us who we are and are not, or who we are trying to be. The inner truth of yourself.... Do you know who you are?... Many don't..... Look into that darkness and depth inside yourself and look, because that image may be you and you don't even know it. Submision
In memory of all those who are out in the cold who have a family, yet are not part of it. The animals, who are loved yet put into this cold and dark world alone and of course all of you who are dying to be yourselves. Imagine being alone.... Feel it.... Imagine a whole life being alone, then a whole life of nothingness and forever being alone.

Um... you haven't been eating ergot-y grain have you?
Well let's see here...
My specs for my Laptop are:
1.6 Ghz Pentium M Processor
Radeon 9000 Pro Mobile
1024 Gig DDR Ram (dunno which rate)
Soundblaster Audigy NX (external, I have internal but only use it when I'm on the go)
Basically, I can run CS Source at everything set on high EXCEPT for Texture Quality (I have it on Medium) and it still runs well enough for me to play online and get a good score. I probably get around 40 FPS constantly. The framerate only drops if a grenade goes off in a room filled with debris, and even though, it's only temporary and then I go right back to fragging with no problem.
Now if my year old LAPTOP, with these specs, can run this game at a decent FPS, who's to say Danimal's computer won't be able to do the same?
Mind you, I am betting HL2 will be a bit more taxing, but I have confidence that my system will be able to run it at a decent pace, judging by the performance in CS Source.
Does anyone have objections? I'd be interested to hear how you guys think HL2 will run on my PC... I will probably be upgrading to a 9700 Mobile sometime in the future, so all hope is not lost

Some badly-puctuated and out-of-context philosophy, apparently written by someone with an extremely pretentious name, that somebody thought it would be a good idea to post in the HL2 discussion forum for no discernable reason.
Didn't really do anything for me. I left most of that stuff ages ago, when I realised that, for me at least, the only philosophies worth following were the ones that I came up with myself. Take pointers from others, but do your own thinking, that sort of thing...
If fact, now that it's occurred to me to google that guy's name, it seems that he's one of those furries, Jeremy Matthew Wilton, or something along those lines, who thinks that he's an animal (in this case, a wolf with a splash of coyote), probably in the spiritual sense, if there is such a thing. Such things can be found at his website:
http://www.wolfjlupus.com/
He likes zoophilia, wears black knee-length jackets, or shorter camoflage jackets, and is apparently gay (or at least bisexual). He is also interested in spirituality and "interspecies telepathy". He is a mediocre artist, and seems to have a thing for drawing anthropormorphised wolves wielding ridiculously large and badly-designed swords.
The wolf thing explains the reference to the "Alpha" in that quote, which I previously didn't get.
If I read his livejournal...
http://wolfjlupus.livejournal.com/
... I see that he's apparently not too shallow, is fairly intelligent, believes that dreams can foretell the future, and seems to be a liberal.
I dunno, I think I'll stick with the good ol' Dalai Lama.

If I'm missing needed information, tell me, and I'll find it out.

I already know who Wolf J Lupus is other wise I would not have posted the Image of What philosophy, I think he did Military service as well. He is not gay but maybe bisexual. He has many pet dogs and his favourite I think is Cody
I have already had my questions answered, I dont know why the mods haven't deleted or closed the thread by now

Um... I'd personally prefer "bump", though that quote about war was quite meaningful.
And if you'd rather the mods close/delete the thread, why did you bump it?
