		Half Life 2 Benchmarks One title that everyone is waiting for is Half Life 2, 
		if it ever comes out. With Counterstrike: Source Beta - Valve shipped a 
		graphic benchmark test that runs various tests to check out how well 
		your graphics card and processor will run with Source based games. While it's harder to judge how the gameplay will 
		actually be this benchmark does show off some of the fancy effects that 
		will be used in the final game and gives a good indication of how it 
		may run on your hardware setup.  Half Life 2 1280x1024 6x Anisotropic 4xAA
