Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

That should play Halo PC.

I have roughly the same chip in my laptop, and it runs Halo PC fine.

EDIT: if you do want a new one, then what kind of slot do you have?

AGP? PCI? PCI Express?

$85 + shipping

Specs: PCI-Ex16
256MBs DDR3 Memory, 128 bit interface.

I've had this card before with one gig of PC6400 RAM and a 3.40 GHz pentium D processor. You're looking at getting about 60-80 FPS if you get this video card and run similar specs.

I have this card but with dual dvi ports. The fan on mine can get a bit loud (compared to onboard) but since your playing a game it shouldnt be a problem.

Its actually 70 if you use the 15 dollar mail in rebate.

Well for some reason my computer has a tough time playing the game.....

I'm too tired to explain why I think the following cards are great deals, and how they give you some pretty damn good performance for their price, so I'll just say this:

Get the ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT, or it's directly comparable brother, the Nvidia GeForce 8400. Both great cards, for around only $90.

Just as long as he plays nothing but Halo PC, like he says he wants to do. Youtube might be abit much

So this is a bad card to get? Im also trying to get a good graphics card for a reasonable price $70 and below, mostly for H2V...

  • 01.16.2008 8:46 PM PDT

Dude, I can run H2V on Medium (which looks pretty damn good), at 1024x768, and still get a benchmark of 60 FPS. I'm sure you could spare just $20. It's worth it, dude! It's an excellent card for its price.

That's my advice.

Forum Rules for those who care to know what they are.

"Bs: Blame stosh for all of your BS!"

What about a laptop? Can its video/graphic card be changed?
