Post complete system specs or nobody will answer your question, not cause anyone is a dick, just because it is near impossible to answer your question without them. Keep in mind even companies that make these games like Doom3 and Halo won't even answer your question without system specs and thy have IT technical personal.

I have never heard of the brand of your graphics card that could mean it is not supported most likely. This is all I can say not knowing the rest of specs like ram, processor, ect ect.
Sorry if this took a little while but I was busy playing DOOM3. in case anyone wonders, yes DOOM3 is awesome!!

yeah, that might be a problem. I have a pentium 4 and mine lags like crazy.

If I remember correctly, Xabre (or whatever the -blam!- it is) is the brand. As far as I know, they went out of business a little while ago, or they had a major REMAKE of the company, and are starting to get back into gear. Oh yea, what the problem is is that you are not listing your COMPLETE system specs. What we need to know are (at the minumum):

1) Motherboard, the manufacturer and the model
2) GFX card (which you already stated)
3) How much RAM you have and what brand
4) Processor. You said something about 1100mhz, and I know that there is no such thing as a pentium 2 that went above 450, so you must have a pentium three (unless if you have an old AMD thunderbird 0_o)
5) Your power supply wattage rating

These are the basics. As of now from the info you have given us, Halo cannot run on your system due to your gfx card. As well, a 1.1 ghz pentium three is minamal (sp?) at best for Halo. All physics calculation done in games are made by the CPU, and Halo is a physics whore (amazingly enough as it may seem to some).

Remember Nark he said he had a pentium lower than a pentium 3.

DooD I would recomend that you learn more about computers I mean -blam!- you own one and don't know crap enough to probably buy a good one. I recomend you stay away from buying anything that has the name HEWELETT PACARD wether it be computer or printer
and don't buy E-machines they are known for useing the lowest grade components to drive down costs. Do not buy any thing that has a Celeron processor that is the worst thing to ever bear the Intel name. Try to get a computer that has PCI EXPRESS capabilites if possible.

Good luck on buying you new computer!!!!

Can't stand these BAD system specs anymore.

THIS IS HOW YOU POST YOUR SPECS:

Amd Athlon 2200+ (1.8Ghz)
ASUS A7V8X Mobo (333fsb)
256mb Samsung PC3200 (DDR400) RAM
ATI Radeon 9700 PRO
2 Western Digital Caviar Special Edition 120gb HDDs (IDE)

sum guy, we would have needed your processor speed, and amount of system memory at the LEAST, (though mobo info and RAM speed is suggested...) It doesn't really matter with you, though, becuase I'll tell you right now that that video card is older than my car and just plain won't work.
