It'll run, but its a pretty bad card and Halo might look ugly. From what I know, a 7000 is a 32 MB card, and a 32 MB card is Halo's minimum. Personally, I don't think it's a good card.

nope not at all... do u have agp? or pci? a good budget card is a 6200 its about $40 but thats if u have a tight budget otherwise i would recommend a ati radeon x700 or geforce 6600 gt or higher.

Lol, I used to have a AGP 6200 OC. Now I use a 7900 GS Go on my laptop.

P.S.I got my 6200 for $160. CRAP!

Man, my laptop with my ATi Radeon 9000 cant even play halo above 8 frames per second.

But I did get halo to play on a ATi Rage 128.

It will run similar to the way it runs on Intel Integrated Graphics.

Nah, don't get any of those 7000 series. To run Halo at decent-high settings, don't get anything under the Radeon 8000 series.

well see i already have a radeon 7000 and i was wondering if that was a good version because i was experiencing soo much lag and i was wondering if that was normal for pc games but i suppose it is just my grafix card.

Ok, well I have a ATI Radeon 9800 Pro and it runs great. I've had it since I got this computer and it runs all my games. Which I have a lot of.

Mine? It is rather out dated, but I can look.

I googled it and I have prices from as low as $88 to as high as $249. Low $200 seems about right.

Here you will need this to help you get your foot out of the back of your throat, looks llike its in there pretty deep. And what is that on your face? Egg?! *hands Kim a washcloth*

Just as a clarification: do NOT get the 9800 pro, it is seriously outdated. you can get much better for less.

getting a 9800 pro would be like going back to celerons. I mean they still make them, but theyre old crappy technology even though they "make" new models.
