    Hi!


    I just posted a order to Dell, on a 6400 series. And I have the plans to play some Half-life 2 on it.

    The config is i chose was;
    Intel Duo core T2300
    1024mb 533mhz ram
    ATI Mobility x1400 256mb


    How well do you think It can handle Half-life 2? Hope i won't regreat that i down-graded the cpu from T2400, I made 150$ on that, and i am a poor poor student :D

    hl2 even worked perfectly on my old 2ghz p4 with 512mb ram and a geforce 4 128mb, so there should really be no problem at all...

    It'll run fine. My Acer runs HL2 fine at 1280x800 (low-med settings) on this X1300, so that X1400 will be quite enough.
