Inadequate Hardware

So, thanks to a generous gift/loan from my girlfriend's stepdad, our household now has two computers. I'm now posting to the Gripping Hand on a desktop computer. When I set this machine up the other day, I was excited to install and play my copy of Team Fortress 2 which I haven't played on PC for over a year owing to not having a computer up to the task of running it. I spent a fair amount of time installing and setting it up in order to find out... I still don't have a computer up to the task of running TF2. So, up until I can save up enough cash to buy a new video card, no game.
