(CPU) 1-AMD Athlon™ 64 Processor 3200+, 1999MHz (28% Load)
(RAM) usage: 254/1024MB (24.80%)
(GFX) GeForce FX 5200
(Display) 1024x768/32bit/60Hz
(OS) Windows XP Home Edition, Service Pack 2 (5.1 - 2600)
(HDDs) 148GB/153GB(96.8%) free

I'll admit it, the graphics card is horrid, but I was on budget, someday I'll get around to updating it, but this'll atleast keep me trucking for HL2.

What do you guys think?

Nice computer, except the graphics card. You REALLY need a new one. Even an FX 5200 would probably be better -_-.

I think you'll be in for a rude awakening if you try to play HL2 on that video card.

Advice - take that graphics card and throw it as far as you can. then drive to where you threw it and run over it in an SUV a few times.

Industry standard these days as a minimum of a 9200SE or Geforce 4 MX440 - BARE MINIMUM. Graphics cards really aren't too expensive these days and a decent one 9600XT is very much affordable.

I hope you didn't buy it from the store. Anyway, it looks good, except the GFX card of course.
