AS AN ACCOMPLISHED PLAYER OF HALO AND HALO 2 ON XBOX (MOST OF MY 20'S SPENT WASTED AWAY ON BOTH GAMES), AM I SETTING MYSELF UP FOR A FALL BY EXPECTING A BETTER EXPERIENCE OF THE PC VERSION??

PC is very time consuming in that you have to go out and buy all the necessary paraphenalia (most notably the graphics card which often has kind of random problems). The multiplayer is cool in that you can play against 16 people on huge levels with tons of vehicles, but don't expect that you'll find these games with little lag; you'd be very lucky if you did. That being said, it's pretty much whether you can tolerate the lag, which can be pretty massive even if there aren't too many people.

To xperience halo to the max get the following;
Geforce 3 and above or an equivalent ati car (128mb or more)
at least 256mb RAM , 512 or more is preferable,
At least a 1.4ghz processor , 2.2 or more is best
a gaming mouse
and a decnt sound system wiether good speakers or good soundcard ro both, note most default motherboard sound is ok.

Well, I upgraded from my MX440 three years ago because I couldn't stand it...I hope you have a better experience than I had. It's not that great.

As for the rest - looks like you need to be thinking about a new pc...

As far as PC v XBox, like B said, you can't compare the two. It's the apples and oranges thing. Keyboard and mouse are more accurate and make movement and shooting a bit better, but there are some bugs. Then again, you've got internet play for the original Halo and new maps and weapons.

Turn west on Broadway, and right at the second light on Welchester Road. There is a dirt path about a 1/4 mile way up, turn onto it. When you hit the interstate 56 sign pull back onto the road. From there take the road 38 miles towards Wisconsin. Get off at Exist 73 and take that street to Vermont Road, and take a left at the stop sign. Go down that street to the fifth house on the left. Go into the backyard and open the shed. There you will find my leaf blower, its yours to keep.

Do not buy the mx graphic cards. or if u did replace it. the cards are no where near powerful enough. i had one halo runs so bad it's unbareable.
