What kind of graphics card do I need to play Half life 2?
Answers:
I am running HL2 with a geforce 6200 with 128MD of VRAM, i can get about med/high settings. Theis not much after the 6200 in term of cards with PCI slots, most are PCIe. This of course is only Nvidea GPU', i dont use ATI. Also somthing i recomedn doing is getting a gig of ram, on the link it says only 512 MB, that is what i am running now but the newer games are becoming harder to play for me, we got the same type of comp but you CPU is about .3 GHZ faster. Hope this helps, if you need anything else contact me. i know a bit about computers :)

After those from what i am seeing theirs not much in the way of PCI cards in the higher seris. In time you going to have to upgrade you Motherboarde for PCIe slots if you wish to continue playing games. The 6200 now is ver obsolete but it is about the only thing i can find, and its the best i can find for PCI, hope this helps and if you need m,ore info just contact me. Best of luck
According to reports Half Life 2 will run on most very basic systems, the original system requirements do not clarify particular graphics cards. It may run with your onboard graphics or you might need to add something like this Geforce FX5200 256MB PCI , available for about $50 new or very cheap on Ebay.
Hope this Helps
