My graphics card gets a 5.1Gaming Rating in Vista, Does that mean that I can run settings on high?

*in Halo 2 Vista*

YMMV. Game is cpu dependent as well, and RAM makes a big difference.

Post your actual specs.

At one time I had Xbox Live, and I had an account name I am quite attached too, I want to use this gammer name for the windows live for the halo vista, Due to I wanan pwn up on some console noobs, and show them the power of a keyboard and mouse.
Is it possible to Transfer it to the Windows live? I dont have the credit card used for it from before * that was my parents* and I am now 18 and am able to use my own
credit card * they no longer have it any ways*

And do you think I should upgrade my computer besides the vista part *which i know is required*

That should be fine.

To immortal: Your Xbox live account can be used for Windows live, however cross-platform play is not an option in Halo2Vista. You need to get Shadow Run if you want to beat up on the consolers. Your machine should run H2V but 2 GB of RAM would be preferable and the X800 may be a little light.

Thanks for the help on that, I May just upgrade the graphic card in a month or two, pending on my money situation,

BUT, I read in a PC Gammer Magazine a month or two ago that you could play against console Gamers if you purchased a windows live gamming ID that would cost the equilivant to xbox live, but PC vs PC matches would not cost money.

But the game is already out, and I suppose things Change. *crys*

THanks for your help

There was a lot of confusion about it because the Windows Live states that games will be cross-platform however Halo2 is an exception because it was made on the Xbox not the 360. They said from the beginning it would not be cross-platform. If it had been a 360-exclusive game they would have been able to do it. Which at least bring the hope that we will be able to do battle with the consolers in Halo3. The problem is they will include auto-aim if you use a controller to even the field.

Off Subject really, But I am pretty Sure like *90%* that Auto Aim for Console users is already in use.

Well Sense this is PC vs PC only, not sure
If I will purchase it any time soon.
Thats Mainly to blame on Halo 1 Pc
Most Servers are horribly Laggy, Alot of them consist of ROCKETS ONLY.... or pistol and Snipers with no shields,
I find it hard to find a decent server on Halo 1, I Just really hope Halo 2 vista isn't the same way.
