    I just downloaded the demo of Half Life 2 and I was assuming that i would only be able to play it on lower graphics settings on my Aspire 2012. I managed to max it out at 1280x800 with everything on max, 6x antialiasing, and 16x antistropic filtering and it almost ran smooth. With everything that high some of the textures were psychidelic colors. Turning texture detail to medium and disabling antialiasing fixes that and the game runs perfectly. I think maybe only having 64mb of VRAM may be a cause for the messed up textures. I expected the game to play around as fast as Doom3 which I can only really play well on low detail.
