Valve talks Half-Life 2 performance - Half-Life 2 News for PC at GameSpot

That is scary, it says that on a 2.8Ghz machine with top of the line ATI Radeon 9800Pro (Which supposedly in DirectX 9 works the best) it is only getting 60FPS. It doesn't say resolution and all that but still, my little puny 1.7Ghz is going to be crying (My guess is 18-22FPS, almost unplayable)!

Time for an upgrade... Intel's Pentium 4 specs out a nice 3.2Ghz... 800Mhz Front Side Bus... Nummy!
