the minimum requirements for Half-Life 2 are a 700MHz computer with a 32 Meg vid card and 256MB of RAM. From what i hear, you can run Half-life 2 at max settings(maybe not resolution though) with an XP 1800+, a geforce 4 Ti4400 and 512 MB of RAM. That certainly doesnt seem like the latest and greatest pc hardware out there. The team making half-life 2 specifically set out to make the game playable for people with low end computers just like they did with original half-life. They do not want to just limit the number of people who will be playing the game to the people who can afford brand new computers, that wouldnt be good marketing strategy.

I personally love both consoles(besides the Xbox, what a piece of crap that is) and pcs but i did dish out a lot of money for a new computer but it did feel like it was time and hell i get lots of money back from my college so why the hell not.
