Better check that. I believe the game requires Shader 3.0 (via Direct x 9.0c) whereas the x1250 can only make use of Direct X 9.0b. Not completely sure but perhaps someone else here can chime in.

WTF I just bought the steam pack for $100, really only for L4D... Dammit! I would have just bought L4D if I knew it was $25.

Great game btw and the $100 steam package is a good deal (if I didn't already own HL2 and CS).

Really is a fantastic game if anyone's on the fence about picking it up. I grabbed it a few weeks ago and have been playing with some old friends who I started computer gaming with in the early 90's. Got burned out on the genre a long time ago (with the exception of Bioshock in recent years), but I've been having a blast with this one.

If you're playing with good people (or at least people you know), it's ridiculous amounts of fun. The animation and sound effects are great, and you definitely have those moments where everyone's just about dead and you're all paranoid about what's around the next corner. Then you hear a boomer gurgling or a tank rumbling and get that sinking "Aw, crap" feeling. Just a great game.

I finally picked this up and I am soooo happy I did. It is stupid fun....really. If you're on the fence about it and you enjoy FPS's ....do not hesitate.

BTW - Rally Master....you should check out AIX Core Mod v2 for BF2.

I forget to check again until a little after midnight Monday morning - and the deal was on and I got it. Haven't installed yet, old machine can't handle new games.
