My rig worthy...(i know i know..read anyhow please)

[eXistenZ]

I'm placing my question here, as the technology one is too huge, and too many ppl that clearly have the highest technologies are posting, only to show off thier high-budget rigs.

I was just wondering for anyone that knows, whether my computer will run the game well enough to enjoy the new technologies....


WinXP PRO
Dual P3 1ghz (2ghz)
512 sdram
Gforce FX 5600 -256 sdram

Do these specs seem worthy or HL2 play...or shall I need to upgrade a piece here. It seems my only bottle neck is the processor; that is if it doesn't plan on utilizing dual processors. I read the articles, and it mentioned some tech-speak about threading, and a bit on such things, but I didn't get a precise answer on whether it will utilize Dual Processors. Will it?

Do you think I should upgrad to 1gig of ram before play?

Do you think I should sell my puter, and get a new rig with a price tag around $1,500??? (minus monitor and input devices)..???

Thanks all..I need to play this game.

--my computer runs Battlefield 1942 pretty well (most everthing turned up, res of 800*600), as well as Call of Duty(all specs cranked max, res 1024*768), SOF, and other such games...is my rig worthy???

It will play it but I reccomend a stand allone sound card. If you have any problems it will be most likely cause your cpu isnt up to par with the game, but it should be fine. ANd if you decide you upgrade you processor your going to have to look for a motherboard that will support it, allong with the other features you want in your upgraded machine.
