Regarding your question of wheather this card will work with Half-Life or not: It should work, but you won't be getting good framerates. The Vanta is nVidia's super-budget card targeted for basic 2D apps. A GF2MX or even TNT2 would work better.

A friend of mine purchased a Vanta some time ago, and soon replaced it 'cause he was getting low frame rates in games.
I once sold a Vanta to one of my customers and have it returned for the same reason, plus other problems, like systems lock-ups. I then sold it to another customer who is not a gamer, but the guy returned it to me when he purchased a Creative WebCam Go! He never told me why, only that he had run into some "problems". I agree with DrZaius, you better get a TNT2, or a GF... or any other thing that's not a Vanta.
