CSS: a good benchmark?

[Moejoe]

So i was wondering in these final hours, how well would my computer run HL2? well, i do play source quite often, but my computer isn't exactly the greatest one i could ask for, although it works. People tell me that if i can run source, i can run HL2, but really, that doesn't seem right to me.

As i'm rewatching the binks, i notice the enviroments seem more detailed, a lot more physics are there, and the computer would have to process AI, unlike source.

So what do you think? should i expect the same performance on HL2 that i get on source? or will i have lower the visual quality even more than what i have now?

Half Life 2 is much harder to run than CS:S.
