First look at my specifications... Do you think my system will run HL2, are there any settings that are not needed? With the upgrades, will my comp be able to play HL2 on max res and max settings?
AMD Athlon 64 +3500
512mb RAM Soon to be 1gb
ATI Radeon 200 IGP
5200FX Soon to be 6600GT
"With the upgrades, will my comp be able to play HL2 on max res and max settings?" Id say easily. But I dont know why that would ever worry you?!

Asus P4P800S mb
P4 2.4Ghz 800Mhz
1Gb DDR3200 Ram
Gigabyte 6600GT 128mb
If you move up to a gig of ram and get rid of that turdy fx5200 for a 6600gt yeah you'll be able to run the game with all max settings at a reasonable resolution.
You'll be able to run it at max res as long as you get the 66oo. Asus A8V Deluxe Rev.2
