"Are you ninja?" "No. Turtle"

I'm looking for a game to play on my laptop and I really like halo 1, 3 and ODST on Xbox 360. Might be a stupid question as I'm pretty sure I meet the recommended requirements on my laptop but I want to be sure so I don't waste my money as I already have this game on Xbox. I also searched where I could post this query but didn't find a suitable thread.
My specifications are

OS is Vista Home Premium Edition, 32 bit (Build Service Pack 26002),
75 GB of memory free on primary had disk.
2 GB of RAM
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 video card with 256 MB of dedicated graphics memory
CPU is Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7500 at 2.20GHz
DirectX version 10
Monitor resolution 1200x800

I don't know that much about computers so I hope that makes sense. Also what do I need to do to play online (apart from internet connection)? Do I just sign up to game spy? And do I need to download patch 1.08 before I play?

Sorry if these questions are stupid but it has been a while since I've played a game on PC and the reason why I don't just play the game on Xbox is I'm away from home a lot for uni.

Thanks.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Download Halo trial and find out for yourself how it runs on your machine.

Good site. Yeah I pass the recommended. I'll have to get this game soon then. Thanks for the help.

I've found their results deceiving. Their opinion on how Crysis would run on my machine and how well it actually did were very different.

Well the demo works for me so the game should hopefully work fine. I liked the ad at the end.
