I'm there but, man this is really starting to sound like communism.
Long live the MAW.

A graphics card of 32 MB is the minimum that it requires. With a graphics card with only 32 mb, there'll still be no colours/active camo/shine ect.
As for cheap, I'd say to go with a Nvidia Ge-force 8500 GT. 256 MB, yet very cheap. It'll play Halo 1 with high resolution, everything on High no problem.
Nvidia GeForce 8500 GT

Heck, anything around a Radeon 9200 will run it on high.

If you don't wanna be concerned with the crazy names and specs like the "ATI Radeon x1650pro 512MB PCI-Ex16" and so forth, this is what you do.

If you want to play halo pc with no lag, buy any new videocard which is compatible with your computer, which has a current retail price of about a hundred bucks. I got the x1650 videocard mentioned above, for exactly 100 dollars + tax, at bestbuy. It can easily run Halo, and can even run H2V at max settings max rez at 24 frames. Pretty good bargain.
