New to this board. My son(12) got me(46) hooked on Halo(He puts me thru boot camp over our network, still kicks my butt!).
Originally had a Radeon 8500DV AIW. In single play things went ok until the action got real heavy then things started freezing like a bad flashback sequence.
Purchased and installed the Radeon 9600 XT 128Mb AGP(come on family of four, a budget).
WOW what a difference. Smooth fast action and finally able to make it off the Pillar of Autumn(be merciful I'm a rookie!). 1024x768, high color, no overclocking, default game settings, I'm happy as a pig in poop!
Any way, just wanted to throw in my glowing endorcement of the 9600XT, on sale at Best Buy, $40 off(no I do not work for Best Buy or ATI).
2.4Ghz PIV 512Mb RAM
