    weren't they claiming at some stage last year that it'd run on a P3 700MHz? :)

    No problems here either, might upgrade to a gig of ram though, ill see how it runs first! Apparantly you can run everything on full detail with a 9800pro. Sorted.

    I'm just off the preferred spec. Should get on pretty well I think. Might get another gig of ram. I want 1024x780, all the whizzy effects and 60fps.

    yup i should be able to run it smoothly enough (not that i had any doubts)
    Might get another gig of ram

    that won't help you get 1024x780, all the whizzy effects and 60fps.

    that's more of a graphics card area.

    Can someone who is registered post the spec please. Not that I think it'll be a problem with my machine based on what others in the thread are saying.

    There's nothing official yet but from a bit of goggling I found this:

    http://www.abxzone.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-72921.html

    "We're probably going to push that to a 1GHz processor with 128MB RAM and a DX7 or DX6 level 3D card - we're not sure which yet," comes Doug's [Doug Lombardi-Director of Marketing] reply. "We'll be pointing people towards running 256MB RAM and an ATI 9600, 9600XT, 9800 or 9800XT 3D card for optimal performance. Once you get over a 1.2GHz processor, the improvement that you'll see will be negligible, so long as you have all of those other pieces in play."

    This is what was posted yesterday on that site by Gabe Newell.
    Recommended:
    2.4 GHz Processor
    512MB RAM
    DirectX 9 graphics card
    Windows 2000/XP
    Mouse
    Keyboard

    Minimum:
    1.2 GHz Processor
    256MB RAM
    DirectX 7 graphics card
    Windows 98/ME
    Mouse
    Keyboard

    The Radeon 9200,9600,9800 and X800 are all DX9 with the exception of the 9700 pro which was released in DX9 form sometime I think.

    The 9100, 9500, and 9700 are all DX8 and should be fine.

    Geforce 3 ti500 will be the minimum.

    All Geforce 4's are DX8 and The FX line is DX9 although it lacks the same oompf as the Radeons.

    I currently have a 2500+ 512 and a 9600pro and in the leak I was getting good frames and I pasted these as good specs, so I tend to believe these specs.

    Hmmm... will get my first indication of how poorly my machine will handle HL2 when the CS:Source betas come out, (knew I got CZ for a reason! ;)). PIII 996Mhz, 320mb ddr266, GF4 Mx440 (o/c'd as far as it'll go with stock cooling, not like it makes much difference!). This will actually be hillarious! :rolleyes:
