Will a ATI Radeon™ 9600 SE 128MB AGP Video Card work with Halo PC

Here are my computer specs

Windows XP home ED
System model:dimension 2400
Intel celeron cpu 2.20 gherz
512 RAM

i currently use a 16 mb video card and it runs halo in very very poor grapics but there is NOTHING about lag issues so how would that video card (ATI Radeon™ 9600 SE 128MB AGP Video Card) work with halo

Don't get the SE, it's a downgraded version. Get the 9600XT, it will run halo fairly decently. Hmm, well celeron's, what can I say, it's no speed demon, you may have some problems there. 9600XT is the minimum you should get.

Well, okay, whatever, I do processor-consuming work like video encoding and editing, so I need the extra power in a pentium4 hyper-threading processor - if I used a celeron things would take 3 times longer.

Seriously, though, you should get the 9600xt. It also comes with Half Life 2 free, anyway, and personally I think the single player in that is much better than halo. Not to mention the se editions are crap.

i dont understand the se version

the 9600 is a 128 bit card, while the 9600 se is 64 bit, which means the se will be extremely limited compared to the regular 9600

9600 xt's are great, i have one, but if you want something cheaper go for 9600 pro; i wouldnt suggest anything less than that
