No. A Dell 2400 cannot run Halo PC. You need to at the minimum get a new graphics card, and the best you can get is a FX 5500 PCI card.

Aj6627, you cannot be more wrong, ever heard of scaling, the better your hardware he better the game graphics are, the worst the equipment the worst the graphics. I believe its geforce 3 and up for nivida to run to halo and radeon 7x00 series and up for ati to run halo.

Well, I'm not wrong.

Dimension 2400s have crappy integrated graphics that aren't supported by Halo. The PCs are crap to put it bluntly.

even with graphics of the Dell 2400 I say again you can get a free patch to make them a bit better or you can get a cheap new graphics chip/crad for it. here is a link somone with the dell dimention 2400 sent me to help me with the graphics og my dell 2400. it has a couple of links to where you can find good crads that make the game run smooth, great graphics, etc.

"hello, i am haloking365 and i heard about your graphics card problem. i have the EXACT same comp. and i got the best PCI card available. there are 3 types of graphics card slots: PCI(we have this one), PCI Express, and AGP.
i am not sure which one is the best but i know that PCI sucks. I bought this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?Submit=Suggeste d&Description=14-133.
this is the best PCI card u can buy. pretty easy to overclock too. if u want to play games with VERY little lag, you should buy some new RAM. i just bought(literally 5 mins. ago) this. it will help u open programs faster and run games with very little lag. if this stuff is a little too expensive, i might be able to cut some corners. hope i helped, Haloking3659 (GT:Specops1990)."

OK, I wasn't trying to start a war its that sometimes the stock computers can have something more than the intergrated card, like a geforce 4 440mx, even though its horrbile, it can still run Halo.

Actually, I too have an integrated graphics card. It runs Halo fine, except everyone's armor is white, and everything is really ugly. I can still play, though.

My computer? Prolly about an 03 model...

Still, it's just colors as the problem. Framerate is perfect because of it.

That is not good at all. For starters, you should get more RAM.

Oh, and my computer's graphics card can run Halo great, my computer won't allow me to turn decals on for some reason. It just greys out the buttons to click, I don't know why.
