    512mb RAM 
    1600MHz processor (that's 1.6GHz, right?) 
     
     
    Anything else? I have no clue...graphics cards and what not. Do you think I could run it at low settings, or do I not have enough information? 
     
     
    I am not a PC gamer...

    You could, but I can't say for sure without knowing your graphics card.

    You know at the very least...a graphics card is a requirement. However from what you posted, it's not going to run well at all. I can't belive you can run like 512mb of ram these days.

    Depending on the Graphics card, which you can easily check, you could probably run portal with lowest settings and a horrible framerate?

    Sounds like netbook specs. If it's a netbook, no.

    Its free, so download it, and figure it out. Mess with the settings and maybe you'll get somewhere.

    My computer has the same amount of RAM, a much faster processor, and a generic integrated video card and I have to run Portal at the lowest possible settings and resolution, and even then it slows way down if I enter a decent sized room.

    Man, I always thought Source games could run on anything, but I also thought people had more than 512 MB of RAM these days. At the very least, tie it to your Steam account while it's still free.  
     
    And +1 to "can you run it." Good website to get an idea of how your specs compare with the required specs.
