Default Half Life 2 The Lost Coast

I have been waiting for this addition for months now and now that it is here I apparently am not able to receive this download because I don't have a 64 bit dual core processor. Does anybody know if this extra area and addition to Half Life 2 is only for the new processors or is it possible to get the download from somewhere and play it with just a pentium 4? I am just interested in playing the new areas. I am not interested in spending a crazy amount of cash on this new processor until it has been out for a while and the price comes down to a reasonable price. Thx for your input guys.

Isn't Lost Coast just a 'techdemo', while Half-Life 2: Aftermath is the real expansion?

"Half-Life 2: Lost Coast is Valve's reply to a series of What If questions: what if there were no limits? What if we didn't have to make sure people with mid-range systems could enjoy our games? What if the system requirements knew no bounds?"

"Their aim was to create a technology showcase: a no-holds barred level that would set new standards in image quality and realism; something to really push even the highest of today's high-end systems."

Ah I c says the blind man. I knew something new for HL2 was coming out soon I just forgot the name. I must have seen this article for the lost coast and confused it with the new expansion to HL2. Ty for clearing that up for me. So is Aftermath out yet for download?

Crap.. does that mean i need to instal Windows XP 64 bit edition? My processesor supports it but i decided against it because it looks more of a pain in the ass with minimal gain of performance at best. And even marginal loss of performance in games, the 32 bit windows version performed better.
