Half-life 2, as far as I can tell, runs smoothly maxed out at 1440x900.

What's EWT stand for and how does it work?

So, my machine is falling apart, and I'm pondering replacing it. I need: --Nvidia GPU if possible for Linux compatibility --GPU at least on the level of a 7600 or x1700 --Screen size doesn't matter, weight doesn't matter -- all...

How much difference is there between the x1700 and the 7700 on the a8js?
