Just one quick question

Tomorrow I am buying my new computer. I am upgrading my video card to a X800 in a few weeks when I get more money. Im buying a game tomorrow, and would like to know if Half-Life 2 would run (at least on low) on what is pre-installed:

Video: ATI Radeon® Xpress 200 (PCI-Express®)
128MB DDR shared video memory

If HL2 would run on low, I would get it tomorrow, play it low until I get my good card. But I could wait for HL2, and buy a different game to hold my attension for 2 short weeks tomorrow.

I just need a simple answer, would HL2 run at least on low with that.

I think it can. That card is like the pre installed video on the comp.

More like a better intel extreme graphics chipset, no?
