You don't get much worse for gaming than that. Oh well, at least I have 512MB of memory sitting there to compensate. I'm still not sure that I should get HL2 with those specs, though.
I'm sorry to say this, but what everybody is describing as low-end is more like throw-away now. Go donate it to charity or something. I mean, on ebay you can get a crappy P4 3GHz system with a Rad9200 for only $400 (thye skimp on every detail). Geforce 2 is only good as a backup, you won't even be able to sell it. Go upgrade.
p.s. no, I don't have a killer system/rubbing it in. I'm just saying this for your own good. get a low-end system, not a pile of junk.

Wait, your monitor has 100 mhz refresh rate at 1600x1200?
Because unless im mistaken, Vsync stops the Fps from going higher then your refresh rate...
Athlon 64 FX-53
1024MB of PC3200 DDR400 RAM
ATi Radeon X800 Pro VIVO w/ 16 pixel pipes active
VSync is off.
So why does my framerate hover between 50 and 90 while my system is better?
my 1ghz machine, and by the sounds of it, hl2 should run even better.
