Left 4 Dead System Requirements Announced
Doug Lombardi of Valve today confirmed the system requirements to play Left 4 Dead.

We've just recieved an email from Valve's Doug Lombardi about the System Requirements for Left 4 Dead. A recent update emerged quoting incorrect system requirements on the yougamers.com website, Doug confirmed that they are incorrect. And attached the real system requirements from the actual box:
  • OS: Windows Vista, XP or 2000
  • CPU: 3.0 GHz P4, Dual Core 2.0 or AMD64X2 (or higher)
  • RAM: 1 GB for XP / 2GB for Vista
  • DISC DRIVE: DVD-ROM Drive
  • HARD DRIVE: At least 7.5 GB of free space
  • VIDEO: Direct X 9 compatible video card (Video card must be 256 MB or more and should be a DirectX 9-compatible with support for pixel shader 2.0)
  • SOUND: Direct X9.0c compatible sound card
There you have it folks, Get ready.

That's why I bought a 360, so I wouldn't have to worry about requirements.

Don't worry, going on experience I'll still run this.

Its Source so it is easily scalable down and these will be the recommended reqs, making the minimum as roughly half, being 512MB, which is conveniently, what I have... And if not it looks like I'm upgrading

This day and age I'd say that 2 gigs is minimum, you need to upgrade bro! RAM is cheap too, although I don't know how it is over there in BBQ land.

"Uhh, MNDF is behind again looks like he's frozen, another lag spike, he'll snap out of it in a bout 10 minutes. Break time guys!".

Just the other day (Thursday) I built and ordered (online) a PC for a good friend of mine. Just to give you an idea that you don't need to spend too much cash to get a good gaming rig:
