AMD Athlon XP 2600 - good enough
Radeon Pro 9600 128 mb - ok for medium detail
256 ddr RAM - you need atleast 512
BioStar NForce 2 SPP mother board - I dunno about that, BioStar isnt one of the top of the line MB manufacturers so I wouldnt know. |

From the official site Halflife2.net
"The Inquirer informs us that ATi's latest graphics card; the 9800XT, will definitely be bundled with Half-Life 2 for release on September 30th. Even more interesting is the fact that the launch will take place at the disused Alcatraz prison, near San Francisco.
ATI'S long awaited card that is expected to take the performance lead in the increasingly bitter graphics battle, is to be launched in Alcatraz, the former prison just a wave away from freedom-loving city San Francisco.
The cards are close to being finalised, with ATI boffins hoping the clock speeds will be a little less than 415MHz for the core, and 730MHz for the memory.
The card is expected to release with a price tag of around $399/£249, and should be fully stocked in stores around two to three weeks after its announcement at Alcatraz.
UPDATE: The Inquirer once again informs us that the two leading graphics card manufacturers; nVidia and ATi, just ended a bid to gain the rights to bundle their new cards with Half-Life 2.
According to informed sources, both ATI and Nvidia came to a position where each was offering a cool $6 million for the bundling rights to the game.
According to our ATI contacts, Valve then made a conscious decision to choose it, rather than the opposition. This is an interesting spin on the negotiations, and neatly allows the blast last Wednesday about Nvidia performance to stay disconnected from the cash.
Be warned that this information comes from ATi "sources", so it may not be entirely true and of course could also be biased. We shall see..." |

so basically...you need a top-of-the-line comp...I guess I'll wait till Xmas on upping my comp, so I can play the game the way it's meant to be played. |

| To play Half-Life 2 on max detail without problems and with high FPS you would need Radeon 9700 Pro or Radeon 9800 Pro, thank lord I have that Radeon 9700 Pro overclocked to Radeon 9800 Pro :) |
