    Probably. It's really not that hard to run, which is very deliberate on Valve's ends.

    No danger, you may have to turn some settings down but it will run.

    um I'm about to be a downer here. Celeron is a really old chip doubtful that this would run in anyway you would want to play it IMO.

    @BadSniper52: You're running a celeron which is a low power CPU from 2006. The CPU and the fact the analyser couldn't detect your graphics likely means you're running very low end integrated intel graphics. You're also running 512MB of Ram which would have been below the reccomended in 2006.

    Even if you can run it, which seems very unlikely. You won't get any kind of enjoyment out of the performance it gives you and you'll be running sub 20 frames with everything on low and the lowest resolution your monitor can support.

    Sorry bro.

    Even if you can get the game to run, it will be a miserable experience and you probably won't have any fun.

    your PC is really old and has a celeron which was all ways a cheap, budget, compromise of a processor.

    If you turn on -dxlevel 8 in the launch options, maybe. But that's still a big maybe.

    This. After 218 updates, this game is hugely CPU-bottlenecked. It's not gonna run well at all on your computer. I'm saying this from experience because my brother has a better CPU and GPU than you and he gets about 10-15 fps with everything on low.

    Well the great thing now with the game being free is you should be able to download it (or if wanting the other gems they did, get the Orange Box) then try it out. Should be able to grab it from Valve's site, set it to the lowest settings then see what happens. GLHB

    I doubt it, OP. I really do, and if it does run it the game will struggle to run in a playable manner.

    I hate that site. Sadly it says it does not know what my graphics card is. 
    Do you have an actual card or an integrated chip? Chances are if it doesn't know what your card is then you have an integrated chip that isn't very good for gaming. My laptop at home has an integrated chip and it's fairly new and it's shit for gaming.

    If it runs, it'll run on low at horrid framerate. On top of that, the game itself is around 7gigs.

    I just tried it and it told me I can't even run The Witcher 2 on Low settings. And that's false. I guess it's not so reliable for Laptops.

    Don't go near this game unless you have at least a dual core from the Athlon X2 or Core 2 Duo / Pentium D era

    Single core won't play nice with this unless it's extremely high clocked and I doubt anybody on here has a 4Ghz Athlon FX in their PC.
     
    Heck my old Core 2 Duo @ 3Ghz used to slow down a bit when 15+ players and crazy explosions were all on screen.

    Jesus christ stop acting like he can run it just because it says pass on the website.
