You'll do okay.

what about graphic quaulity an stuff should i leave them on default? or lower them

[RaBiD WeAzEL]

Keep the graphics a little bit on the low side, and you should be able to pull off 1024x768.

[Lahire149]

it's your graphics card that's the bottleneck in this case, but it will still work on low settings

The game does a great job of automatically setting up an appropriate default for your system settings.

this is true...

Yeah, you probably won't even need to change the settings, it will scale them automatiaclly.

Look, isn't there recommended specs on the back of the box? :dozey:

See, I was going to say this too. I'm not being malicious, but every PC game does list minimum and recommended requirements on the box.

Oh yeah. There's a forum called Community Game Support for this kind of stuff as well.

In fact, who would support a thread that simply said 'This is not where to post technical problems you're having with HL2. Go here (linky).'?
