Here's the scoop: I entered the Halo world with Xbox, but want to do mutiplayer on internet; so got Halo for PC. I have a nice system, about 2-3 years old that had a nice (for the time) video card; so I figured running Halo would be a snap. WRONG. Halo says my card sux so bad it won't even let me begin to play! (Actually it said, "There are known problems with your video driver," and gave me directions to a web site to fix the problem. But, after downloading the new drivers, it still wouldn't let me play.)
I have an HP Pavilion 750c that I got from Costco: 1.8GHz P4; 512MB DDR SDRAM; 80 GB UDMA drive (29 GB free); CD-writer and DVD-rom drives; and an nVidia TNT2 M64 graphics card with 32MB SDRAM.
My 2 questions:
1.) How good of a card do I need to run Halo smoothly (or even smoothly with the "use version 1.1" switch set)? Please be specific as to card make and model.
2.) Anyone have any experience souping up an HP Pavilion series computer? What did you use? (I'd like to get a card that does not have compatibility problems with my HP nor with Halo...)
Thank you for any help you can give.
