Hey uhh I have been playing halo for awhile now and its not really fun without good graphics. Well thats just me. All of the guys look Gray and black visors and everything else I think you seen this problem before.

I need to know if I need a new graphics card or just download something. My friend says I can just download to make things look better but I don't reall y want to risk doing something stupid.

Heres the GPU or watever: Intel(R) 82865G Graphics controller

It is a pretty balanced card and doesn't cost a lot but best I could come up with so far.

Not a problem, but in the words of Seargent Johnson "Then, listen up! Usually the good Lord works in mysterious ways. But not today! This here is sixty-six tons of straight up, H-E-spewing dee-vine intervention! If God is love, then you can call me Cupid!"

Come on, it is not going to be the greatest and even though it maybe passive cooled it does have better capabilities besides who goes on stock anyway?
