Can You Run It

Obiously, youre aiming for recommended, not mininum.

What I want to know is how good it does now and depending on how well it does if a few simple upgrades will do. I am not trying to get great performance. Even if its laggy I will be able to play anywhere.

I did it, and I will say you were wright and I was wrong. I didnt get a virus. Everything met the recomended requirements except for the CPU and my graphics card. So I figure I will spend the 20 bucks to get L4D and see how good it does. I think I will upgrade my RAM regardless. The CPU seems a bit to complicated. I now know how to replace it just not what to replace it with. And from what I have read it seems that graphics cards cost a lot with little reward.

Some things you must check:

CPU
RAM memory
Graphic card
Disk space

-Register optimized
-Disk defragmentaded
-Decent malvare, virus, trojan protection
-Software updates (windows, steam, left 4 dead)
-Drivers updated (graphic card)

Check requirements from google, wikipedia, steampowered

My comp, every game works 100%

Intel core 2 quad CPU 2.4 Ghz
4 gb ram (vista sucks whole 1)
512mb nvidia geforce

I am definately gonig to upgrade my RAM to 2 Gigs. I dont think I can Upgrade my CPU to anything more than a Celeron. I mis spoke when I said my computer met the miniumum requirements except for the CPU and the graphics card. It actualy got all of the recomended requirments except for the two.
