you have to download L4D updates, steam can download those alone.

ps: you should buy L4D2 is more cool

Your processor is your main downfall (i do not know your memory speed) but obviously you are running it hyperthreading. Even so, a Celeron is the "bargain basement" type processor (think Cyrix) just because of the cache. I hate to wonder if maybe your PC can run heavy games better than my win98 PC when it had XP on it... It could be possible. Video card look good tho.

Games nowadays may not care about CPU speed. More care about video card and RAM. Asides, your RAM looks OK but you did not say what speed! Speed can be important sometimes. There will be a problem with CPU. If you can say what mainboard you have I might be able to find better CPU you can use (hopefully!!). Anyways Celeron CPU not normally known for playing games, more browsing the web. Anyways I'd hope your PC benches better than my Win98 PC ^_^

Yeah hi Godzilla. My Win98 PC now runs the hardware my XP PC did. BTW that hardware (with XP) could run Crysis. I would ask how many servers you have built and are committed to maintain, but that is not for this topic. If you have something to say, make a new topic and we can have conversations. I do not know why you always post like this.

Anyways R0tnAx, I agree, your CPU isn't horrible! Only second maybe to the Pentium M CPUs, which like to underclock themselves. Anyways, I'm not familiar with that motherboard but (obviously) that doesn't mean anything. I am pretty limited in my motherboard knowledge to a couple brands only and unfortunately Asus is not one of them. You may find many people will cringe when someone says they have a Celeron. Oh but you said "motherboard" sorry thats my fault. Where I work we must call things "mainboard" instead of "motherboard" (actually I don't have to but I have respect for my supervisor) so that is why I posted that. :yes:
