I answered your question in the other post. Too many posts tend to confuse everyone.
 
If you google it, the spces dont list a graphics card so how do we know if your computer plays Half-Life2 if you dont tell us your specs?
 
graphics card

Here are the important specs for your computer:

eMachines T2825
CPU: AMD Athlon™ XP 2800+ Processor (2.083 GHz) with QuantiSpeed™ architecture
Operating System: Microsoft® Windows® XP Home Edition
Chipset: NVIDIA® nForce™2
Memory: 512 MB DDR (PC 2700)
Hard Drive: 120 GB HDD 2
Video: NVIDIA® GeForce4™ MX graphics (AGP 8X slot available)
Sound: nForce™ 6-channel Audio


It looks like you have integrated GeForce 4 graphics so I highly doubt you will be able to run the game with some decent graphics. You might still be able to play it though, with everything at the lowest settings, I personally havent tried Half-Life 2 with that card, but I have tried games like Neverwinter Nights and Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield and the settings had to be at the lowest to run. I recommend you buy a good video card for your AGP slot. You can get some pretty nice ones for around 100-200 dollars that will run HL2.
 
You should be able to play it at fairly high setting with a Radeon 9800 Pro or XT card. I could play it at 1600x1200 with an XP 3200. You might also want to get an extra 512mb of RAM especially since its so cheap now.
