That is just sad. On to other things now. I would think the 9800 series cards would be able to handle HL2 decently, and with the X800's coming out I have a feeling prices are about to drop. But the question still remains: What else might be able to run it? And we still haven't covered anything on CPU's. I for one have an AMD based board and am somewhat curious as I am running off of a 1.3ghz Athlon. As for RAM I would think 512 would go without saying. And what about multiplayer? Will it have multiplayer (most likely)? And on that matter what will it take (connection)? The thought of cable just scares me (cable is really expensive where I live). Oh, I just remembered something. If you purchase a new Radeon Video Card, you get HL2 with it. I read somewhere that ATI originally intended to include HL2 with their cards, and upon its release they would send you a copy (you pay the shipping) -OR- you could download it . But when I read this it also stated that this was said right around the time of the source code theft. After that any and all information I have found on it has said that either HL2 comes with the cards and it is sent to you upon it's release -OR- it comes with a coupon of sorts for 40$ off. Could somebody help clarify this?
