yer, I expect it will, I got 2 hard drives and 2 gig ram too, which will help, and If it doesn't work first time, I can always mess with the settings

Thanks for wasting his time! Joking.

No, that's a crappy card, dude, get a better one. Also, what's the rest of your specs?

I dont know the rest of my specs, but I do know that I will turn off the 3d interface on my comp, and my computer can handle ut2004 on full everything pretty smoothly, and anohter thing is, how come I would have to buy a graphics card for hundreds of pounds when the xbox is like 50quid, and that handles it fine, it just doesn't make sense

No it can't run. A 9200 I believe, is a DX8 card... I'm not even sure you'll be able to run Vista.

Your vid card was low-end WHEN it came out, I wouldn't foster hopes of it running Vista and H2V on top of that anywhere near smoothly. Just get a $100 GeForce 7 series card and you'll be fine. You'll be able to play other games too...

Most of the PC issues posted here are the result of PEBKAC.

The Radeon 7000 series is even older than the 9000 Series.


Yeah, you'll get nowhere with a Radeon 9250. In fact, it doesn't even meet the system requirements. It's a Dx 8 compatible card.

Sorry, I should have clarified that I meant a GeForce 7 series...

And what about Ati Radeon 9600 128Mb? Is this card good enough to run H2V?

Dude I can run UT2k4 maxed too but my comp chugs on halo if I play it with anything higher than medium....

Meh, I need RAM.... and a graphics card..... But who cares, its not like I ever buy a game when it comes out...

I NEED this game though, I need something awe-inspiringly awesome to occupie me until I get a 360 and halo 3, does anyone know that price yet?

(I got 2 gig of ram, so I dont think that will pose much of a problem)

it makes perfect sense. you want to know why? because they boosted the graphic. plus the xbox runs H2 on a low resolution where as computers run it at much much higher resolutions.

I wouldn't suggest anything less than a X1650Pro or a 7600GS. Do you know if you have AGP or PCIe?

I've got that card and I'm thinking that it won't make the cut.

I'm going to buy a new laptop and was thinking of an HP model but wanted to make sure it would run H2 Vista. Are these specs enough?

-1GB DDR2 SDRAM
-Multiformat DVD±RW/CD-RW drive
-160GB Serial ATA hard drive (5400 rpm)
-NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 (UMA) graphics with up to 288MB shared video memory
-Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Edition
