YES make sure u dun have the latest intel drivers released a couple of days back

Yup For a resolution of about 800x600 u can get a good and smooth gameplay.Even the Ram seems to be more than enough so yea u could very well play the game a normal settings but remember anything above 800x600 i.e. 1024x768 and so on would result in loss of frame rates.Btw is that an original HL2 copy that you posses,If yes then u wont be having much issues of game crashes :wink:

Yup it sure will run. But see that you dont pump the eye candy too high. And oscilate between 640*480 and 800*600 only

I have an Intel 915 GAG motherboard with 512 MB RAM . i have not installed a separate graphics card. The game runs fine on my system but when the i save a game or the game auto saves during the game , it crashes to the desktop. And i have to load it all again . Do anyone know how to solve this.

That is a common problem with the pirated version of the game. Mostly it could have been avoided by patching the game up but it being a pirated copy, you can safely forget that.

Would it be? But wouldn't it overwrite the cracked no-cd file then?

Yup it would be overwrited but i dun suppose it will pose a problem as i had given the same patch to my friend who had the Node Graph and AI Disabled errors but after patching it i dun suppose he ever complained :wink:
Just Let him try and we'll see for sure if this works or not :D

I think that u can easily play the game at a resolution of not more than 600x800. if you really want to play the game i can suggest you for a GE Force 5600 graphic card.
