Just wondering how long do you think it will last me and what kind of games i should be able to play..i'm planning on getting HL2, how do you think it will run on it?

If you're going with a socket 478, I would lean towards a northwood instead of the prescott. Despite the cache difference, the speed difference is almost none but the heat difference is huge.

meh too late i already ordered but thanks for the help anyways

[tesco]

halflife 2 should run fine. That card isn't that great but i'm almost certain that it can run that game pretty well (i have teh same card).


An AMD CPU would have been cheaper, btw. SO you would have gotten better performance for teh same price. Possibly buy a better video card.

yeah planning to do that after a while..but as you said this should work fine for the meantime

I've been running HL2 on a similar gfx card without any problems.

how long do you think it will last me

OC it to about 4GHz. It will run just about any game you want just fine, and may even last about half an hour.
