I have a MBP 17", 2gb ram, 128mb X1600, 2.16ghz C2D. I was wondering how Orange Box will play on my computer. Half Life 2 and Episode 1 run smooth as butter, and I imagine Episode 2 will run fine, and probably Portal, but how about Team Fortress 2?

Also, if anyone knows, how much HDD space does Orange Box take up if you don't choose to install HL2 and E1? Just the new content.

I'd say you're fine. Someone in my house plays it on their crappy PC. Like 1GB RAM, 2GHZ P4....don't remember the vid card, but it's old.

Retail version is 2 DVDs. Only installed TF2 so far, that takes over 1gb.

I have the new iMac 2.4ghz with 3gb of ram and Leopard. The Orange Box runs great. Episode 2 is a little slower but they all look and run very well.
