Portal is awesome. I thought i was going to hate it because it didn't involve gun battles and stuff but turns out i love it. The game is just total genius.

To check what graphics card your system has.
Go to Control Panel, then System and work your way from there!

You mean you have a GFX card that is less than 128MB, doesn't support DX8 and you expected it to play HL2?

Wouldn't that have been a good idea before buying?

heres an direcetX 9 card
G card there some other on that websites to but the 7600GS is a good midrange DX9 card
Cheap G card this is also a DX9 card but a low end one but it's pretty cheap
but what is the spec of your PC as you might be better off paying a new one
