k guys ever since i first got halo the graphics have sucked for me... first off everyone's armor looks gray and sometimes in a glitchy game the armor will turn white. along with this the ground texture is bad. it looks like someone made an oil painting on the ground and just smudged it all together; there is no detail to the ground what so ever. same goes for rocks and walls. while playing the story missions in places that are supposed to be dark and kind of misty like a cave were u have to use your lights; the dark and mist dose not show up; the room just looks like another room with a slightly darker shade on the walls and ground. So I could go on and on but I wont.

what i am here to ask you all is if you know of any cheap graphics card that would be good to by and that would make it so the games actually looked the way it was supposed to. right now im running on my computers original graphics card...my computer is just a Dell Dimension 2400 Desktop. so if you can help give me the name of the cards brand its price and were to find one...

thnx.

Lucky for you, I have the exact same computer and just fixed this problem yesterday. Thanks to aj6627, I know that the Geforce FX5500 is the best card for your computer, as the Dell Dimension 2400 only has the PCI slot. Grab the card here from newegg, it's what, $89 bucks? Considering that's the best card you're going to be able to get for your computer it's a great price.

Oh and it works like a charm. The flashlight works, no more oil paintings, it goes the whole nine yards. Hope this helps : )

Dude Relax! This isn't a very busy board so your not going to get an immediate response. Second, your post isn't about anything, it is spam. Third, don't double and triple post, be patient someone will usually respond in a few hours. Fourth, don't post in CAPS it means your yelling and just makes you look like an idiot. If you have something to say or ask go ahead but otherwise go back from whence you came.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

Sorry that you have a 2400. It seems like a lot of people here have one.
Definatly get that one that was posted. I reccomended it to a lot of people before because it is the best one you can get for a PCI only computer.

lol vectorracer when are you gonna just accept that intel integrated is... crap... and even though you can see colors you cant see all the speculars, effects, and texture quality involved in the rendering of the game?

lol no offense... but it really does suck. i know. i have that same chipset. (not in my computer... but in one in my house)
