Okay. Your processor is fine. I prefer AMD, but its ok. You need more memory. 512 minimum. Your graphics card? Yea, you need a new one. I suggest an ATI Radeon 9700 or better. Any other questions?

your card can go to hell cuz its making me barf. cpu, and ram should at least be 512 at pc3200, at least thats what i run with and i have no problems. I also recommend a least a ATI radeon 9600 pro or a Nvidia geforce fx 5700, dont get the 5200, thier average for halo, they sort of blow.

Huh... are you sure about that? I'd suggest you do your research before spending money on something simply because it has a bigger number. DDR400, depending on the motherboard, provides little to no increase in performance over DDR333 . In some cases, it performs worse. DDR333 should be more than sufficient for Athlon XP-based systems. Tom's Hardware is an excellent place to research hardware before you spend hard-earned money.

That's precisely my point. If you don't know any better or don't know the difference, why are you telling someone to buy an unnecessary and more expensive component? No hard feelings bro, I'm just trying to make you more aware of the advice you give out so willingly. ;)
