I know how you feel i have a intel exterme 64mb card and it sucks i wanted to upgrade bu then i found out that i only have a PCI slot so to be honest i thought is was going to be worthless to uprgade to PCI. Any way if you want to play single player without any lagg then you add this to your halo shourtcut -vidmode theninput the numbers like this EXample
-vidmode 320,240,60 this is the lowest resoution u can run halo in I played it with all the settings on and got 35-60 fraps. BUt be warned if you do this halo will look very very bad. Here is the site if you want more info if you want to do this.. http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;830487

Upgrading to PCI is way better than staying with integrated. WAYYYYYYYYYYY better. Get a Nvidia Geforce FX 5500, its one of the best PCI cards out there.

Whatever, I thought 640x480 was horrible..... Yeah 64 MB of integrated? ouch. I had 128 integrated. You should probably just wait to get a new PC.

Looks like i got the same graphics card as you Mr. Thread Starter. I hate it when Dell gives you those stupid cards. Extreeem my @$$. I just converted to Xbox for playing games. I dont wanna go through the troubles of a PC in terms of gaming.

If you want a good card for a PCi slot, here: GeCube
**drools**drools on keyboard**Bangs head on keyboard**cries**

Its an Australian Website. Just go to Gecube.com for AUS and other places.

Be thankful for the lazy's!

It may be a good card for PCI... but the AGP version sucks i cant even play halo on it
ass soon as you run into any type of tree or bush it slows down to 6 FPS thats right i said six. and only averages 40 FPS

and thats on 800x600 with almost all of the goodies shut off.
my old card ran it better
and BTW my computer system specs:
P4 3.2 Gig HT 800 Mhz FSB
1 Gig DDR running Dual Channel
fx 5500 AGP 256 meg Running 8x with sideband

my old computer :
P3 800 Mhz 100mhz FSB
384 Megs Ram
Gefoce 2 AGP 32 meg running 2x
ran halo better.

soon as i have the cash im buying a 6800 GT
