| Ok that is my question. I already doubt it, but lets see what you guys think. Intel 2.4ghz cpu. I'm guessing it is a northwood. 512mb of ram radeon 9000 (ouch) I know the radeon 9000 doesn't even support DX 9. LOL its just a DX8 card in disguise. E2140 @ 375 x 8 = 3.0ghz 2x1 ocz system 1337s pc2-6400 5-5-5-15 @ 450mhz gigabyte P35 S3L eVGA 7600GT Stock 120 gig seagate ULTRA X-Finity 600w Sonata 2 w/ top fan G5 Lazer Mouse |

| 5 Minute Mod Man | Or you can go to this thread , go to the website. CSS is not a listed game but in the game selection drop-down, select "Half-Life 2 - PC" ... it is the same engine. |

| socket 939 junkie | is the card a PCI 9000? if your stuck on PCI then go for a nvidia 6200. dont get the TC version, but the plain vanilla 6200. theyre pretty cheap these days and has more performance than the 9000. but first i would try the game with the 9000. if it plays and theyre happy, then save your $ for a new pc. just FYI i can play CSS with my laptop's Xpress 200m. everything low though. :P |
