I really want to play Halo PC, but I have an evil Emachine. I was wondering if anyone could help me out by letting me know what upgrades I need. I'm quite computer illeterate, so I'm not even sure what I should look up. Here is the information for my computer. Its a Emachine W3080. Has an AMD Athlon 3000+ 80 gig hard drive, and 512 MB DDR. What else do I need?!? Besides a graphics card, and if that's all I need, what should I get?

you have all the good components. graphics card. at least get a 9600 xt. theres nothing else that you need. everything should go well once you have a good graphics card. if you want to go get another stick of 512 mb ram go ahead but dont get anything higher or lower mb. you should have both of the ram equal and sychronized. thats it really. you should get a 9600 xt, but you dont need extra ram. well actually whats your ram speed?

Yep, thats your processor speed. Anyways, I would assume he as pc2700 (333mhz) as it is DDR and is offered in an E-Machine that is probably at least 4 months old. PC2700 is fairly standard in comps like this. But, your comp is pretty much ready to rock. As stated, you should probably get a 9600XT, and go frag. HAVE FUN!
