Subject: My Graphic Card sucks! My character's all gray! HELP!

Well, I've had to play through Halo without textures or any of the shiny chrome-y characters.
I just saw this graphic card update from a NVIDIA site and downloaded a beta version of GeForce/ION Driver Release 190. Is that going to mess my PC up?
My specs are listed. Help please.

Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600)
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz (2 CPUs)
Memory: 504MB RAM -> YEAH I know.
DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c -> I SHOULD update.
Graphics Controller: Intel(R) 82865 Graphics Controllers
DAC Type: Internal ->DAMN

P.S.* IF OTHER UNHARMFUL UPDATES TO MY GRAPHICS ARE AVAILABLE, PLEASE TELL ME.

Over the Rock, Through the bush, nothing but Jackal. Plasma Grenade, Jackal. Jackal, 'Nade. Blue Fire, then lights out. Bye Bye, Snipes.

It looks like the game just can't fully load everything into the RAM due to its small size. If you got some more space, I think your pc could fully load the textures then.


Also, this is the XBOX Halo forum. I think you would want the Halo 1 and 2 PC Forum.

EDIT: Just to reiterate, Your graphics card is fine the way it is. Just get yourself some more RAM (At least 2 gigs, I have 4.)
