To buy or not to buy? That is the question.

I would love to play Halo 2 on my comp and make maps but is it worth the 200 dollars for Vista (Wich is a low ass estimation), 200 for new graphics card,150 for more ram, 700 for new faster processor. Basically buying a new gaming computer just to play a game I already have I don't think so. I am just sticking with my beautiful 360.

Well yes i would play it, of course were all gonna upgrade to vista sooner or later, also you don't need a powerful graphics card.

I've heard people on this forum say it runs ok a Radeon 9600xt right now it costs what 40-50 dollars. Also when window Vista comes out that graphics card or equal will maybe replace intel graphics for already build computer graphics.

Also as for ram, check the Mircosoft website they say 512mb ram mim. thats the standard today, and maybe by the time WIndow's Vista comes out 764(i think thats the amount of ram inbetween 512mb and 1 gig is) ram will become the standard.

As for processor i dunno but by the time window's Vista comes out, everyone will be able to get a processor of running Window's Vista. As a matter of fact, I think most people today can run WIndow's Vista. Also, 700 dollars is just crazy too, anyone who can get a processor at a value of 700 dollars will probably run the next 3 OS's fine.

jsut buy a cheeper cpu. I bought a P4 3 Ghz and Overclocked it to 3.8. Saved like $200 *I bought it for $200* But when I get vista, depending on how much money I have, I might upgrade to a dual core, liquid cooling, and at least 4 gigs of ram *my mobo supports 8 gig O.O* and I probably will either get an ati all-in-wonder x1300 or 2 great nividia cards and put them into sli. a little super computer imo. =D

o and um 700 for a processor is a little over the top. Those are the high end processors that you have more power than you need.

A $320 amd 64 4000+ is way more than enough power to run all games out there.
In my amd machine i have a 64 3200+ and that runs every game fine.

Really? It's being a bit pompous, no?Computer specs?

Oh, and one thing. No matter how great your technology, it'll be outdated by the time H2PC swings around. Darn 3-month law.

LOL!!, you still have alot to learn on the decision for Halo 2 on Vista..... like A) it will be way way way better on Vista than XP, ...and B) We( us PC gamers) want it to be as good as/better than the console version.
