Er, your graphics card is your weakest link there, closely followed by your Ram, and even your CPU is on the limit. However with 512 RAM, something like a nVidia 5600 / ATi 9600 you should be safe. Unfortunately if you don't hav the money for that kind of thing... erm put it on your xmas list: New PC.

I'm assuming you've tried lowering the graphics settings?

Heyyo,

Get HaloCE my friend. It runs much better than HaloPC. Sure it lacks singleplayer (which sucks) but online play is much better due to the improved preformance and netcode. :)

Yeah, but don't get a FX5600, I had it, it sucks. Get an ATI Radeon 9600 PRO, or a Geforce FX5700. Anything below the FX5700 ain't worth your cash. trush me on that.I got soo mad with my FX5600, I sold it to my PC-n00b ex-landlord, and went pro-ATI. I'm threw getting ripoff cards. The only 3 Video cards I've purchased worth my money is my old 3Dfx Voodoo 4, the Nvidia Geforce2 MX220, and my current ATI Radeon 9600 PRO.

I also purchased a Geforce4 MX440, THAT was the biggest waste of money videocard I've ever bought. Curses on you Nvidia for wasting my money.

Heyyo,

Right here is a set of places to get it:

BTW, it can run user made maps, which rules :)
