Okay, so we all know that Halo was poorly optimized for the PC. I also know that even though the Xbox is crappier than most computers, it still could run a game because all of its power was dedicated to it. Nothing running in the background or anything. This is the reason most consoles that are worse than PCs can still run the high-caliber of games. For example, the basic specs for the Xbox:
733MHz CPU
250MHz GPU called the "XGPU"
64 MB RAM at 200MHz DDR (lawl)
A computer 4 times as good as that would still have trouble with Halo PC windowed, minimum settings staring at a wall.
But what's the point of all these jambering-shenanagins?
Well, I had the idea, that somehow, somewhere, someone, could create or figure out a way to make your computer act like a console; as in it could dedicate everything to one .exe file. Maybe you start up your computer, right-click "Halo PC", then in the menu, hit "Run in dedicated mode" or something. Your computer would restart, running Halo. When you exit, your computer restarts again back in normal mode. Could this work? Am I just wishing for too much for people with noob pcs? Or, is it not that simple? Please do tell.
And if there is something like this, feel free to insta-pwn me and tell me the link.
