Can it run L4D?

Nope.

Go to a store, find the game, look at the box and read "Requirements", or even check online.

[Coffee Crisp]

Ya it can. Don't expect smooth frame rates though.

Poorly. At lowest settings. L4d's a LOT harsher than most all hl2 engine games because you've got a shitton of polys on screen with the zombies and you almost always have valve's terribly coded flashlight on which gives even my overcompensating rig a -10fps drop.

You can go here, and get it checked.

Does the flashlight really kills frame rates that much? The first time i heard/read about flashlights lowering FPS was on LOTR Escape, since they force it off.

[Wrathek]

no, you can't. you're vac'd remember.

I had a shittier comp then that and was still able to run it. Lowest settings on everything and still laggd but still ran hah just ask raven, your comp should run it fine, back then i used a 6400

cl_showfps 2 sometime (1 is just the counter, 2 is highest and lowest reached and the counter) and then turn on your flashlight. It makes fuck all of a diff to everyone else because they'll only ever see your flashlight drawn as this ass-odd cone of white fog that doesnt really affect the environment but you get an fps hit.
