Ok, whenever I go online to play Halo CE, the message of the day always says "Manual update required Hot fix 1.07" at that one microsoft thing. I've already downloaded it on to my PC, and ran it before I ever played a game online and all I have is about three or four dozen servers. its almost as though the patch didnt work. is this all of the players online in Halo CE, or do I have a software problem?
hardware query: If I upgrade my ram to a 1 gig instead of 512 MB, will the difference be very drastic? I also plan on getting the cheapest (also the lowest graphic) Nvidia video card and upgrading my CD drive to 48x. how much more drastic will the differences be? I have to play halo on the lowest graphics/detail with a 3.07 gig processor and 512 megs of ram.

please private message me on both issues.

it seems halo 1.07 does not support ati X800XL cards with 256 mb memory on it
the game crashes and says that ati 512 mb unknown has stopped answering :(
Could anyone give me a hint how to solve this ?

False, I have an X800XL w/ 256mb of memory, and works perfectly.

by the way You might check if your gamefiles are writeprotected, if yes You have not updated the game,
remove protection an update again.

512 or 1 giga of ram, will not make much a difference. only a slight performance raise, if the 512 is used up by the game
