    Possible, yes. Enjoyable, probably not. The 6150 can only run it at low settings, at 800x600 resolution. So as you can imagine, your online experience is going to suck as you get killed by people you can't even see, and when you can actually 'see' them, they're a bunch of blurry, washed out pixels you'll be straining to make out. Before once more, you're killed by someone you can't see.

    So no! I don't know why they list the 'minimum requirements' incidentally. Running any game on the bare minimum requirements is an ugly, ugly experience. They should list 'minimum' as spec's that can actually run the game above the barest settings...

    HL2 should run okay on medium-ish settings....

    HL2 should be fine. The minimum for playing BF2 at acceptable resolution (1200x800) and FPS (30+) IMO, is the Geforce Go 7400, or the Radeon X1400.

    The HP dv6000t would be my first choice of a computer.

    I heard if you get 2gb of RAM that would make BF2 run alot smoother. Idk never tried it out on my x200m but I heard the x200m could play BF2 on low settings at 800x600.

    With 2GB's of DDR2-667 and a fast CPU, I believe you could get playable FPS on the Go6150. HL2 will run great though on medium settings.
