My old graphics card is broke, (geforce 4 Ti 4200), and i got half life 2 for christmas, do you think this graphics card can handle it and is it worth the money?

It's a good card, but in todays market most of the video cards are good. What it comes down to is how much $$$ you have to spend. I never buy the lastest greatest but wait for price to comes down then buy a "newer" video card. So now you can get that card for a good price. John
Most video card reviews show that card or its close cousin(series) as very good. Your new game will certainly be better for it. Is it worth the money, well I never spent that much for a video card as I'm a "trailing edge" sorta user not a bleeding edge and wait for costs to be more reasonable. You can check the http://www.tomsharware.com for a review and/or check pricelists for comments made by buyers.
good luck
