Hurray TF2 beta! But it don't work for me!

First time it loaded fine and then eventually it got extremely laggy (FPS drop) and then got so much drop in the framerate it just simply froze.

Second time it wouldn't load because some file must had got corrupt, kept getting some locked vertex DX8 error, deleted all *dx*.dll's in the steam folder and in all games folder, deleted clientregistry.blob and the appupdate.blob and restarted it, it loaded but froze again after a few seconds. Kept trying, then it crashed before it loaded into the game. Finally tried it again on the LOWEST video card settings and on a small window so I could see what's happening...

youll need a bigger PSU soon!

i do believe if you wait a month or 3 on your processor youll be able to get an AMD K10 phenom processor running in AM2 mode. maybe even a quad core.

Its a barebone rig, I dunno if my motherboard would support those processors :S I think i can upgrade the PSU though, I guess i could steal one from my old pc, a 400ish wattage, but its still pretty high ratings for "300W"

it supports the Athlon X2 BE-2350 (DD) processor I dunno what difference in speed that is to 5600+ (max supported that I could see on the mobo support page)
