Holy crap. For a second there when I saw the title I thought this was some necro'd thread. Ummm, well. Both of those cards are so incredibly old... The 5500 should be able to run Halo PC at decent settings. The MX440 though... I don't think that model even supports Shader 2.0. I'm pretty sure you're running with fixed function on that card aren't you?

Its up to you whether the upgrade is necessary but I doubt that 5500 is going to run any games made in the last 2-3 years at all. But if just for Halo I suppose that upgrade would be justified.

RIP Halo 2: November 9, 2004-May 10, 2010
I was the 2nd to last person to get kicked off Halo 2, see the thread Here

I'd go with the geoforce.

For 20 bucks, go for it man. You will see considerable improvement in Halo.
