If you are tired of seeing these kinds of threads, please ignore this one.

Anyways, I was wondering if I could run Halo 2 on this notebook:
http://support.gateway.com/s/Mobile/Q106/Blade/5959sp2.shtml

I know the video card sucks. But that's all I have at the moment. I will work hard to buy a new PC later this year.

Hopefully I'll be able to run Halo 2 on low settings or something. I mean, Vista Ultimate runs fine on that notebook. It even has the Aero effect (transparent windows).

Thanks in advance! :)

It might run it, but I doubt it with the video card.

And there's no reason for a poll.

No, the video solution is terrible.

Nope. That's a lousy video card.

My personal experience with Gateway computers leads me to say that Gateway sucks, and I would advise you not to buy one. Having said that, the company could have chaged in the 6 years since I had a Gateway computer, so I'm not saying "don't get one,", but rather advising you not to.

Cheers.

How do you do that on accident?

It will probably run. but will definently lag and choke at higher resolutions.
