Hi, everyone,

I have a game (Half-Life 2 with OrangeBox) that needs only 128 Mb of graphic memory, 512 Mb on RAM, and about 2GHz or processor, it still runs like it would need double of graphic memory, or triple. I have 3.2 GHz processor and 1Gb RAM, and exactly 128 on graphic chipset ( http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/ca/en/sm/WF06b/12132708-12132884-12132884-12132884-12221730-12221990-50435301.html here's my machine:) What is wrong with my machine then if the game works that bad, when for example Illustrator or Photoshop are working no problem?

Thanks for any help.

I shoudl think because they are the minimum specifications, tehrefore you should run the game with all graphics setting son low, and even tehn it depends what is classified as playable...

Sorry, bro the system config doesn't meet game standard..1gb ram shared with the graphic card, it mean you left with 896mb, the os will take at least 50% and u only left about 448+ MB ram....
