    Almost all new games cannot be compressed (and operate) or at least suffer in performance somewhat.
    Say What?

    max_payne, you have posted a lot of off topic comments today all over the place. Please read the sticky at the top of the this forum, aptly titled I think!

    well actually my games partition has about 200mb more than my system/essential program parition. Altogether I have about 3gb left.. but i like to have at least 1gb left on partitions, because i frequently just download too many things and i have to spend a day clearing it up...

    [edit]
    and i don't have partition magic, and from what i heard you have to pay, which i do not want to do

    the only reason i want to know if there is a way to run half life and those mods is because I just got 2 new games, and i'm tired of installing on minimum mode....
