Get Marathon 2 and Infinity Here
if your looking for a good Halo card (read: Halo generation games)
then i reccomend the GeForce 4 series of cards, 4 years ago i got a new comp from Dell (thats before they became crap) with the second best card available: the GeForce 4 Ti 4200 with 64MB RAM (note: I have 512MB system RAM). I still have the same computer today, and it playes Halo just fine (can get full graphics options with limited lag if I turn the resolution down to 800x600, for single player) but for multiplayer i just turn all the candy down to medium or off (depends on which setting, i turn specter off completly as well as particles, the 64MB of ram just can't take it).
But now, they have the new generation GeForce 4 series, the GeForce 4 MX, they upgraded the arcitecture to allow 128MB of onboard RAM to be put on it, and did a few other things to, so if your lookin for a really in-expensive card that can play Halo and a lot of the newer games with acceptable graphics, then the GeForce 4 MX cards are the way to go. We are talking under a hundred dollars here, this isn't a power card, its for your cheap arse user who doesn't need to play Half Life 2 at full graphics settings and with full 16 players in multiplayer. But if you want great graphics for the price, I have to say the GeForce 6600 group of cards, and if you want to splurge, then get the GeForce 6800 Ultra. Or if your looking for a compromise, and your lucky, find a GeForce 5700, and if your not lucky, get a GeForce 5600, most stable cards they sell other than the GeForce 6 series. I haven't heard good things about ATI other than they are fast, I'm the type of gamer who still plays games from 1995, and I want to be able to play them, as far as that goes, I haven't heard good things about ATI cards, but I know GeForce cards can, cause my friends have the GeForce 5600 and GeForce 6800 (standard) and they are fine running the old games.
