Well, being a Source game, it SHOULD run on most anything made in the past three or four years, and even longer before that if you spent a little on upgrades between here and now.
I'm running it on an AthlonXP 2500+, a Radeon 9600XT 128MB AGP, and 1GB PC-3200 RAM. It's not pretty, and it drops to about 16-22 fps in heavy areas, but it's still playable. Just make sure you're running the latest drivers for everything, and put everything on as low as it'll go. If you still want more frames, start dropping the resolution.
EDIT: Just a notice for people on the fence about picking up L4D - Valve's added L4D to their little "everything Source" superpack on Steam without increasing its price. It's still just $99 for every single Source game out there; there isn't a better deal in gaming anywhere, folks. If you already own one or more of the games, you'll be able to "gift" those extra copies to a friend, as long as they have a Steam account (they're free.) Buy the Source pack and give the gift of gaming to some folks that've been missing out :)

Ok, I have sorted out what was going on now. Hunters really are quite fast and leap on you in a flash, so that was what that first thing was about. The next thing was due to a bunch of zombies busting in a wall to get to me, hence them seeming like they had appeared out of nowhere. The zombies still move faster than I expected them to, but at least knowing that there is no tech problem has allowed me to play the first two levels and enjoy them!
Oh also, I had no sound when I was playing it this morning, so I missed out on all the audible cues you guys were talking about. With those in the game things are a lot more manageable.

There's multiple ways to explain the closet thing:
The aforementioned hiding factor. Someone may've gotten bitten and not known what was going on and chose to hide in a closet, eventually turning. This falls in especially if there's a group hiding in there and a couple of them turned and attacked the others before they could get the door open.
Another possibility, one that actually pops up in the Walking Dead, is that someone may have corralled a couple of zombies into the closet assuming there was some cure out there and not wanting to shoot their friends and family members. This was a major plot point in Walking Dead when they encountered a heavily religious farmer who'd been corralling zombies into his barn in a refusal to kill them.
Again, I know way the fuck too much about the ins and outs of the zombie holocaust thought process.
Noct:
That just means you'll be that much better off when the zombie apocalypse finally hits.
Back to the game, anyone else spend some time with the Versus mode yet? Playing as the zombies can be incredibly gratifying. I mean sure, you die a lot... but when you finally isolate a survivor from the group and slowly strangle the life out of him while cackling maniacally... okay maybe that's just me.
If all else fails, beating the shit out of their entire team as the tank is fun as hell.

Man, Kat told me the game came in today. I am so eager to get on to brush up on my Zombie Apocalypse survival skills tonight.
