Has anyone got it yet?? I just looked here. http://www.half-life2.com/ I am totally blown away at the trailer on the front page. I have never seen a human's face look so real in a game.

When the very undeveloped source was released I had a go, the graphics were already amazing, cant wait to see this on some decent hardware.

IGN had a play of the release version with these specs,

ASUS P4C800-E dlx motherboard

Intel P4 3.2GHz CPU

2.0GB DDR400 dual-channel RAM

Radeon 9800PRO 128MB video

Creative Audigy 2 ZS sound

Western Digital 160GB SATA HD

Here is the result.

seth, Valve claim that it can be run on low end systems, but you wont see graphics like that without a monster machine.

Cyber, the X800 XT is still a pretty good card though is it not? I was looking at a PC the other with one of these, and I thought they were quite good?

Should be getting a new machine in january - i need to be able to play Half-Life 2, GTA:SA (when it's eventually ported) and Battklefield 2!!!!
