If you're playing it, please let us all know how it runs on your system. I'm
getting a new system next month but I don't know if I can wait that long to
play HL2.

Running well at 1024x768 2xFSAA on my XP2500+/9700 Pro/768MB PC2700. I
get a few occasional stutters at the start of a level, so I think 1GB
memory would be advisable.

Zalman Reserator 1 as well, so it's bloody quiet too!!

It's a tense game I'd say as well, given the first few levels I've gone
through so far.... need to play some more Halo 2 now though I think.

That's a pretty impressive framerate and on similar specs to me. It's
nice to see a cracking new game that's not aiming to make everyone's
PC obsolete.

XP3200+
1GB 3200RAM
9600XT
Runs good at default 800x600 with noFSAA. Havent tried 1024x768 yet cos
system keeps overheating or poss unstable ram. More fans please!! :)
 
The framerate depends on what point you're at in the game. 41fps when
standing right in front of a wall isn't impressive. Is it an average from a
benchmark? Is it inside or outside? AF settings? Framerates need more
information to be useful.

Running the game at my TFT's optimal of 1280 x 1024 which felt a bit
slugglish on my 9600XT with all detail on high (no AF/AA) so reduced model
detail and shadows down a level and it's now running nicely.. expecting my
X800XT to be delivered before lunch-time today so expecting to get the
detail and AA/AF cranked up :-)

Current system:

P4 Prescott @3.4Ghz
1Gb PC3200 DDR
9600XT 256Mb
 
Installed it last night

Excellent

using the video benchmark in the game gave me 96 fps

gameplay was awesome smooth

loading between levels a little slow

everything on high 1280 x 1024
no aa or af

2500 Barton running @2.0
asus a7n8 deluxe
1 gig pc 3200 dual channel
9700 pro running @ 360/335
120 gig sata

aiw 9800 pro, xp3200+, 768 megs ocz pc3200EL, a7n8x deluxe.

Runs great a teensy stutter at beginning of levels.

Damn it took me a couple hrs to figger how to get out of the water works
area where the 2 rooms had barrels on one side and the pipes and water
sectioned off with the fence/gate on the other, till i found the valve.
I spent all my time on the barrel side dropping them down the ladder hole
and stacking them in the water under the tunnelway to get into the other
side, yea dumb, but it worked :), then when i finaly got over to the
other side I noticed the valve ARRRGH!

AthlonXP 3000 (333) @ stock speed
1GB Mushkin Dual Channel PC3500
Maxtor 120GB SATA
ATI Radeon 9800XT (4.11 drivers, I think)

Running at 1024x768 with full details; don't ask about AA or
AF...defaults...never changed them.

After finally getting the damn thing downloaded (2 days/3 tries), it runs
very well. Better than Doom 3, better than Pacific Assault (which itself
runs better than Doom 3). Nice and smooth.

Brief sluggishness right after it caches the next porion of a level. There
is also the odd time where the HD access light really goes and the game
pauses, but these aren't terribly frequent and I chalk it up to having to
run Steam to play it.

Judging from the other systems out there, I should be able to bump up the
resolution with no problems.
 
I should also mention that I do get a bit of crackle through the speakers,
but this is likely because I'm using a USB 1.1 sound card.
