I have one its a Intel Extreame Graphics 2. Everything looks good and im not willing to buy a good card for pc gaming. Would halo pc still run well with it? I would post some screenshots for you if i knew how.

Mine looks alright. Rocks and explosions looks detailed. But the banshee is a dark purple and all the other vechicals are a dark color. Instead of a shiny pistol, its a dull finishes. Like i said its alright and bareable.

intergrated cards suck ass. especially intels.
i mean u prolly got a dell right, and there fore u got a crap mobo.
if i were u id spend abt £40 or $80 on a pci vid. card
i would get a radeon 9250.
also m8, it does lag like hell. my dad has a dell 2400 and my god does it suck 4 gaming. luckily i hav my own pc.
neway the fps suck so does the texturing and basicly it is just -blam!-.
i used to play halo pc on that, back in the day, for abt a year, but then i realised that i am an ass, i decided to build my own pc.
the peps are all grey and everthing else sucks. grass is just merged with mud and loooks worse then a 1year old monkeys drawing of crap.

u can fix it by updateing drivers but its still crap. also the whole system on that machine is -blam!-. the ram is just crap the hd is lik 1mb cache and the mobo is the worst ever.

theres no point u buying halo pc and playing it using that card. instead pm for halo. and buy a ati 9250 with the money u saved. :D

Ya i used to have an integrated extream graphics 2 chip. It sucks actually. If you don't mind not seeing coloured MCs or having explosions slow down your game, or not being able to run the game higher than 640x480 then you don't need to upgrade.

I would if i knew how. I have a Dell 4600. And explosions dont slow my game down. Halo pc runs really well. My comp isnt that bad. MC2,Call of duty, UT 2004 and other games i have run at full steam and it looks great. Halo pc is the only game i have a problem with. Not to mention Half Life 2. that game has the best graphics ever, on my pc! So its not as bad as you think.

[pulls eyes out of sockets, continues typing]
definatly, you should look for a new card. you can improve far beyond that; such as this:

I have an xbox so i know what everything looks like already. Here is my own screenshot. http://tinypic.com/1zwww1
If halo pc runs on my pc ima get it. as long as there is no slow down, im not upgradeing my pc for 1 game. Like i said on my previous post, all the rest of my games look good. HALO is the only one that doesnt look that great. Maybe i will post screenshots of my other games just to show you. This is half life 2 http://tinypic.com/1zwzt4 BTW i have ZERO slow down. I may just put my money to Half Life 2 instead of halo.

On the demo these little flying robots come out to take your picture and you can shoot them. Of course they blow up and make a nice effect. Dont know about the rest of the stuff though.

I dont get it. I got an Dell computer with the stupid: Intel Extreeeem Graphics 2 and Halo sucks. But Half life 2 looks pretty good minus the low frame rate of 10fps at some times. That why I'm getting this:

Card of Greatnessss

Its really silent aswell.
