If it doesn't have a graphics card then it won't run.

That's very little RAM. 1 gb DDR 1 won't take you far. That could be a problem. The CPU might be alright on lower settings. And as crollo stated you didn't mention what GPU you have, which makes it hard to tell

Looks like he's using integrated video. So that's a definite no right there.
You will also want a slightly more powerful CPU.

not a chance, sorry. you'd probably struggle to run Source2006 on that, never mind l4d.
What's the clock speed on that cpu, btw?

integrated graphics are also a serious drawback, especially if you don't have much system RAM for it to rely on. Really only the brand new Z68 chipset mobo with the incredible Sandy Bridge integrated graphics system is powerful enough for modern games, and it's a lot more expensive than a conventional graphics card at the moment. (benefits are reduced noise, incredible power efficiency and easy cooling.)

Even that hard drive is barely enough for an OS and a few games. Temp files will result in really slow performance from it.

tl;dr: time for an upgrade.
