Wow! Source works very well on low end video cards. (Although you still need a pretty good CPU)

I was amazed when I got 50-70 fps on my 32MB Mobility Radeon 7500 when running in (KEYWORD:) Direct X 7 mode. I see very little difference than DX8 or DX9 mode other than the water.

Good job, Valve!

I recommend this game to almost anyone that meets the required specs and has around 2.0 ghz.
