I have no idea what you are saying. Those specs you listed are TOO LOW to play Half-Life.
"Hive Queen" im sry bt wut u men by dat lik i dnt no "specs"?
What Spin is trying to say is that your PC is too old to play Natural Selection.
Recommendations: Replace the whole thing. PC's are getting cheaper every day. You don't need something that you can run NASA from, an entry level system will do nicely for NS.
Or, should you prefer it in AOL-Speek
Ure PC is old an 2 busted for anyfing. Get sum new hotness. Nothin 2 bad, but sumfing new.
AOL-Speek FTL!
(Those 2 sentences took me longer to translate and type than the rest of the reply!)

tx Dark Minion nw i jst ned to sve mney lol gna tke a whle i thnk u wht u thnk i ned like $6000 or so u knw da cost of a nw comp
You don't need anything too powerful if you just want to play Natural Selection.
Print this spec out, and take it to your local computer retailer.
CPU: AMD Sempron 2800+
RAM: 512MB DDR333
Motherboard: ASUS A7N8X-X, Socket A, nForce2 Chipset
HDD: 80.0GB 7200rpm
FDD: 3.5"
Optical: DVD-ROM/CD-RW Combo
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce FX 5500 128MB AGP
Modem: 56.6Kb/s PCI Modem
Power Supply: 400W Major Brand.
OS: Microsoft Windows XP Home SP2, CDROM and License
Built, and set up.
The next bit will really be up to you, but this one is recommended.
Case: JeanTech Trinity
Don't worry if you don't understand any of the above, just take it into your nearest small computer retailer, don't bother with PC World, or whatever the US equivelent is (I think it's something like Best Buy...), they will try to sell you about $300 worth of warranty that actually covers nothing, and they'll try to sell you more than what you actually need.
Any good computer retailer will look at those specs, give you a price, and how long it will take, then go saving.
The whole lot will probably come to about $600-$700. Like I said, PC's are getting so cheap now.

Translated version: Thanks Dark Minion. Now I just need to save money lol. It's going to take a while. I think I need like $6000 or so for the new computer. Do you know what is the price of a new computer?
Heroz, why do you spell like that?
The psychological term is AOL-Speek.
It's basically that language that is commonly used amongst todays youth, specifically over Instant Messaging, and via Mobile phones.
It's a lazy-man's Bad English. Commonly spoken over IM, between "Hip Youths", as a possible method of sending sensitive data when their parents. It's actually quite
, as it is actually a low form of encryption.
*edit* Only a few, non "Hip Youths" are fluent in AOL-Speek. You appear to have the skill in translation also Spin. I have learned it during my reign at CBL, most of the language is phonetic replacements, and contractions of the original words.

Christ... I'm thirteen and even I don't spell like that. I mean, is it soo difficult to type in proper english?
EDIT: I am Singaporean. I have to bear with "Singlish" everyday, and this is somewhat similar to it.
Give it time Spin, and you'll be conversing in AOL-Speek.
Soon, you'll be putting "b", instead of "be", and other AOL-Speek-isms.
Before you know it, you'll be posting like this poor chap is...
Pity, even his forumite name is in AOL-Speek...

I vow to never stoop to that level.

You could try HP, but a local computer retailer will give you better advice, and better support.
Remember, you're looking for an entry level system, not a high end one...

/me thinks this is a gag.
If it isn't, oh god...
If it isn't, oh god...
oh my god.... i cant believe that morons like you exist and actually do speak(or type) like that. For love of GOD, type your bloody jibberish into a word document. Then, spell check. Then copy and paste your newly formed english paragraph into the forums and avoid looking like a ****. Then beat yourself in the face with a large pipe and enjoy being unemployed for the rest of your life. Honestly, if you cannot form a coherent sentence, let alone a SINGLE WORD, i can't imagine how you got far enough in life to actually own a pc.
Hmm, putting heroz' last reply through Word spellcheck, taking the first hits for every red underlined word, produced:

Not exactly an improvement I'd say, though the general intention of the poor soul can still be derived from it.
Please do not feed the troll.
omfgWTHbbq BM is teh 1337sauce hax0r. Oh wait, that's 1337speak. I'ts been so long since i've seen aolspeak that I cant even remember how.

heroz:
A new computer will run you anywhere from 500-1000 dollars for a basic setup. This computer will get you by for the next 2-3 years, unlike the computer you're now using which is more like a 4-function calculator than a computer. I also recommend getting a phonics program, or a nice websters dictionary to go with, as it'll more than likely help you function in the online world (as you can see most people here couldnt understand one word of what you said). Save up your money, and godspeed.
TRANSLATED:
A new puter gonna b 500-100 bux fr basix. itll wrk fr 2-3 yrs b4 u gta upgrd, cuz yr puter now sux lik n old skool calculater. u shuld gt a fonix prgrm or dictionry so u can txt ppl rite online (cuz nbdy hre undrstndz wht u sed). Get sum flow n get the new puter, holla.
