I have Halo: CE for the PC and I already set up the controls for the 360 Windows Controller, but I have a big problem:

We are sorry, but your computer’s video hardware is below the recommended minimum spec for this game. If you wish to upgrade your computer, please contact your computer manufacturer for any necessary assistance.

Machine Info: 2800MHz, 1024MB, 64M Intel Unknown (0x2772)

... Does anybody know what I need and where I can find it?

You need a computer from this century, and you can find one of those here. Or, if you want more options, you can check this out.

I have a VERY good computer, but my dad told me it's not for gaming. I just got this computer last year and it runs pretty fast. I need a video card, right? I need one that will be good enough for Halo: CE and it MUST be cheap. Any suggestions (i.e. RadioShack)?

You've got a 2800 MHz processor, do you consider that fast? A decent GPU isn't the only thing you need.

You need at least 733 MHz to play Halo: CE. I have 2800 MHz so I'm fine with that. Seriously, what do I have to do?

It works fine except when multitasking. I'm going to upgrade to a two core Pentium or Celeron D. They are very cheap now.

Also if you can buy off the Internet, check newegg.com, they have the best prices.

I'm confused...lol I'm not getting a new computer so I need to know what I can get that's in the ballpark of give or take $100. I'm not loaded here. I just wanna play this game and that's it; I'm new to PC gaming.

Are any of these around $100 or less? These are supposed to work with Halo. I'm sorry but I don't know anything about this stuff. Do they go into any computer?

Don't worry about that list, all those cards are really old. I believe that was the list of supported cards when Halo PC first came out.

If you have a PCI Express x16 slot, this card is perfect for your price range.

If you don't have a PCI Express x16 slot, and you have an AGP 4X/8X slot, this card will be your best bet.

Actually, now that I think about it, 2800 MHz isn't so bad. Sorry, I haven't gotten enough sleep lately.

Kim, are you high? 2800mhz is REALLY fast. Though it might not be as good as some of the most advanced chips 2.8ghz is really nice....

Right, CPU speed has to do more with the architecture, rather than just the speed, hence why an Intel C2D at 2.4ghz can out perform an AMD CPU at 2.4ghz.

And for the video card recommendation, a cheap Radeon 9250 or 9600. It'll be cheaper than $100, and it will run fine for you.

Yeah, it's fast for Solitaire. That's about it.

The only other thing I could find out about my computer's graphics power is this:

Display:
Plug and Play Monitor on Intel(R) 82945G Express Chipset Family

Does this have to do with anything?

lol reading through this thread so many people ignored each other.

For under $100, I would say something like a 9200 should cut it fine. The only problem is determining whether you have AGP or PCI-e. I would think that you have AGP, though there is no way of knowing, since you don't even have a video card.

Yes, just about everything. Your graphics processor unit is about one of the most important parts that can be found in a PC. You've got an integrated chipset, which is pretty much bad. Upgrade.
