Windows Vista is an Operating System (OS). The computer you have currently uses Windows XP. When Halo 2 comes out, you will have to upgrade to Windows Vista so that your computer can run the game. This is what is causing the furor in the Maw currently, some people believe that Windows XP is quite adequately made to play Halo 2, while others think that putting it on Vista will make it a much better ported game.

Oh, one thing. Nobody can answer your question. The game is still in development, and it'll be a long wait till we see this game on shelves. We don't know what the required specs will be.

However, like others said, one thing that'll be certain is that you'll need Visita to come out. But nobody knows if those specs you listed will comfortably run Halo2.

I don't know if your computer should be fine...but remember, Halo2 ran off of an Xbox. If your computer is as powerful or more powerful than an Xbox, you'll be fine.

I have no doubt that Halo 2 will run on XP within weeks after release. Somebody will crack the engine. I'm really fidgety about Vista: seems that the Aero interface is the only cool-looking thinking. Windows Vista only looks good. It may not be a great operating system, or anything different than XP. Therefore, the only think that will make me think about upgrading to Vista would have to be the intergration of online co-op in Halo 2.
