2007 is great year for PC games IMO, i would recommend you to buy a gaming PC with Dual Core processor, 2Gb DDR2 RAM and a GeForce 7600GT or better, the 6 series can barely run anything nowdays (i own 6600 and i can only play on lowest graphics) next year i won't be able to run anything i guess, so get yourself one good video card - it's cost won't be higher than 80-100$

Dont take any LE card... whem I've buyed my last rig, I've take an 5700 LE and a top processor and good amount of ram. What the Hell, it was a piece of crap, every benchmarks show that I've could play Far cry, with almost everything on high, with smooth Frame rates, but it turned to be a piece of crap... I've couldn't play even on medium...
BTW take an 7600 GT or a X1800 pro, if you can afford, you can play realy nice games, like oblivion with theese cards... and its not that expensive.

Using skins on player and weapon models will not get you banned. Replacing normal wall textures with see-through ones will.

HL2 is one of the best games created ever, the story is great, the gameplay is great, the graphics for today still good

CS: S has the same graphics but it's multiplayer FPS only - it doesn't have any story

i would recommend you to buy HL2 and CS: S at the same pack - it's called "Holiday 2006 Collection"

see it over here: http://www.steamgames.com/v/index.php?area=game&AppId=240

ok, but would a GeForce 7500 LE work? with lag or would it run smoothly? thanks for ur helpecks001

the 7500 will work fine with no lag, perfectly smooth. With the 7600 I can run the game maxed, with AA x2 and AF x4, so you will probably be able to get similar settings.

the 7500 LE will be good as a 6600 - which is i think almost all graphics are maxed, but a 7600 will make sure that you'll play it on max graphics withouta dropof fps

A proper answer comes to be this one:

Thatcardwillbarely fit your needs because of two reasons: 1º) 7500 is not a typical number, and it comestobe some sort of blend betweenmid power and low budget 2º) LE means that the card is crap, on the LowEnd segment.

Rathermaketheefforttogeta7600 GT(mycardindeed,worksverywellonCS:S and lots of games in medium-high settings),ora7600 GSthat willworkfinetoo. Alternatively, youcouldspend some more andbuya8600GTifyouwantto ensure DX10 complianceevenifnotasifgnificative performance advantage, but if you don't care about DX10 and Vista, just leave it. Don't spend further than that because it's NOT necessary for your needs.
