Processor: Your processor is fine.
Graphics : You should be able to play in 1024x768 depending on your card, consider upgrading if you have an older chipset such as GeForce 3 Ti System Memory: You have enough RAM Operating System: You will be able to play on Win XP. Architecture: No Problems Bitch, please! ATI 9700 Pro. I will run my shit at least 1024*768 with graphical effects turned ALL the way up.

Looks to me like the bottleneck most people are going to have is the Vid Card. It's not happy if you have less than a 128MB card.
Time to start looking....

Sapphire 9800 Pro - Around 200 bucks on newegg. If you've got an 8x AGP port, then this is it. This is the best deal you can get.

I would guess, Proc - 2ghz and above
Graphics - 256 mb System memory - 512 mb Operating System: Win XP Architecture: Gonna guess 64-bit. That means NoSoup must have a 64-bit Athlon. And running a 64-bit version of XP? Am I right? Do I get the cyber cookie?

Yeah, this thing seems a bit overkill. A Radeon 9700 Pro or Radeon 9800 Pro is gonna run HL2 damn good. Most people are overestimating the requirements for this game. People may not be able to run it at the maximum requirements, but it'll run good and look good on midrange videocards.

I just clicked on it (I would have earlier, but I'm not on my PC). What a crock of shit! It has processor ratings in megahertz. Give me a damn break! Athlon XPs run at lower clock speeds than Pentium 4s but stilll keep up (and pass) P4's in most tests. Speed means nothing since AMD entered the market years ago.
On top of that, it's asking how much memory your videocard has. Again, who gives a shit? Let me guess: it's gonna tell me that my GeForce FX 5200 LE 256 MB is gonna run HL2 better than a 128 MB Radeon 9800 Pro. Ha ha. This test is pure tomfoolery! I can't believe they'd publish it. I'm not even gonna get started on the RAM amounts, either...can anyone say "Why isn't my PC running it good with 1 GB of PC100 RAM???" -Lasereth

No worries here, as I've found a buyer for my 9500 Pro. I'm going to buy a 9800 Pro. Yes, I know, I should get an X800 Pro-whatever. Send me the cash and I would be happy to do that. I spent $300 USD on a GeForce 2 GTS 32MB once. To me that is silly. The 9800 Pro that I will buy will be fine for a year, hopefully. Hell, my 9500 Pro is fine now.

That 9800 Pro should run the shit outta HL2 and anything else for the next 2 years.
