duckedtapedemon	It runs almost fine on meduim on my dads pentuim 4 2.0 ghz with 512 megs of ram and a 64 meg Ati 8500DV. I didn't play it much on that, but i imigine that if you turn down shadows or something it will work fine. It will work better if you have a dx9 card though.

Stuffie Mod DB Star * !	It runs on My Geforce2 MX 64MB no prob too and doesnt look tht bad at all , of course you dont get any of the shaders n wht have u so no spiffy water .. but overall its not bad. You can still play HL2 then upgrade later and play it again with extra prettyness . -- Stuffie

cheguevara Member (what else?)	you should not judge a graphics card by its mb, the fps is the most important go here: Graphics.tomshardware.com and look at the graphics card comparisons -- Join the Cold War: Reborn team!

cheguevara Member (what else?)	but a 256mb graphics card can have a lower fps than a 128mb card dude -- Join the Cold War: Reborn team!
