Subject: Halo 2 Vista Specs?

I have searched, these forums and the web for an answer, but can't see one. Whether or not it's slipped my view or it hasn't been announced but what are the specifications that Halo 2 will run on with Vista?

Basically I just bought this laptop and was wondering whether or not i'll still be playing Halo 2 on my 360 come it's release?

Please, read the forum stickies, especially the Halo 2 Vista FAQ. You're just not looking hard enough. Or, if you did look, maybe it's because the requirements have not been officially announced yet.Posted by: TwilightWolf 777

Hasn't been announced, which is exactly why you couldn't find anything. We get threads about this almost every day, thus I have run out of insults to call you....

The few, the proud, the leet.

I'll go ahead and tell you that if it runs, it wont look pretty. The integrated graphics on that notebook are absolutely terrible.

That laptop will probably run it, but it won't run it well.

I wouldn't even use vista on it.

It will run it fine. My laptop has half the specs and an intel gma 900, Vista works fine, only the graphics card isn't "good" enough for the aero effects. Apparently aero worked fine with it pre-rc1.
The GMA 950 is supported with aero though, and the specs are decent, so yuo should be able to run it.
(oh, by the way, GMA uses emulated texture and lighting, so don't be surprised if the bumpmaps look weird and not correct.)

Single core(and crappy at that), bad graphics solution(wont dignify it enough to call it a card) and small amount of ram all contribute to the fact that it will run like crap.
