“One week after it began at cyber cafes, Valve has opened the Counter-Strike: Source beta to the public–sort of. The developer announced that starting at 7 p.m. PST (although Daylight Savings time is still in effect on the West Coast), buyers of Counter-Strike: Condition Zero and the ATI/Half-Life 2 can go to Valve’s Steam Web site and begin downloading the beta of the Half-Life 2 multiplayer component.
In addition to the CS: Source beta, Valve will be providing a Valve Source technology benchmark to determine if their systems will run Half-Life 2.

Beta participants will have the option to send the benchmark results to a Valve-hosted Web site which tracks the results. “
