Well im going to build a new computer, and im really eager to do so. The only thing really holding me back is that i want to be able to play Halo2 vista when it's released. Im not sure weather i should wait on DX 10 cards or just upgrade later. It's really tearing me, anyone have suggestions?

it's so hard to wait though. Is halo2 vista sceduled to be realease around the same time as Vista? I may just hold off on H2 vista and keep playing the console version for a little while longer.

I would at least wait until the DX10 capable cards are released by ATI & nVidia later this year. They will selling those before Vista gets shipped.

Expect Vista to be released at least 6 months from now, until then you can buy a mid-range video card for now (100 bones), and just upgrade it later. The amd quad core cpu's will use AM2, so don't worry about upgrading later on. If you're that desperate, go for it.

I know all about vista and everything but how will the due date for vista match up with Halo2PC release date?

Halo2Vista will prob follow Vista by 3-6 months. They need to let the OS get into the marketplace before they launch it.

IGN reported that H2PC will be a launch title for Vista.

Economically that was a pretty good move on their part. Halo2PC will be greatly desired when it is released and it will have people stumbling for it. Only then will they realize they need vista to make it work. At that point they will rush to buy vista thus making microsoft more money. In some cases,(like mine), new computers will need to be bought to handle vista thus computer producing plants will get a boom of profits and this will increase their standings with microsoft. In the long run and about 10 more line of me talking, both microsoft and smaller buisnesses look to make money off vista.

Hypothetically I think this is right. At least this is the way it seems to me. Provided the hype for H2PC is big enough, and that the hype spreads the word to enough people.

Plus since obviouslly they wont stop with H2PC... they will make even more games and vista will make microsoft and some smaller buisnesses even richer. Plus since Halo is popular this will initially make vista popular and vica versa.

Forgive me if I missed anything in this spew MAW men.

Not unless it has co-op, Crysis will own H2PC any -blam!- day.
