it will work or should anyway

[Crasher]

It should run fine, but don't run it with the best graphics settings.

I have worse specs than you and I can run it at lowest graphics, you should be fine.

oh . then i think i wud play it . i looks an amazing game . but i have a problem ... the esc key no longer works and so , is there a way to rebind the esc key to something else  , say a function key ? 

And one more thing , my download speed sucks . and moreover , i cant download it in one  go . any suggestions ? 

 

edit : i might even buy a wireless keyboard if it aint too disadvantageous to play with wireless keyboard .

You will have to download it in one go via steam, that's the only way to get it, unfortunately. It may take a while, but you can do it. You can rebind the escape key via the options menu in game.

[Jefke]

well, you can actually just close Steam

 

It will resume the download on start up so you don't have to download it in one go

the thing is , my linux drivers for intel suck . i can't achieve even playable fps in et  . that is why i want to have windows for gaming alone .

According to my experience (could be different for everyone else) TF2 on Linux is highly unstable... It crashed the OS 4 times before even joining a server that bad I had to reisub every time...

I havent been able to play through a single game without TF2 crashing on Linux either. You arent alone.

 

@thunder -- there isnt any disadvantages to playing with a wireless keyboard unless your batteries die of course. Ive been using one for over a year with no problems. If you want to play TF2 shoot me an add on Steam. I play that almost daily
