    Halo

    Think I can persuade Halo to run on my PC????
    It's pretty low spec but i'd love to try it out.
    I guess I can try it and if it dosn't I can wait for my homemade PC to be done. Though I dunno if a decent graphics card is in my budget.

    the appalling conversion of Halo to PC means you'll have a hard time running i on anything - it was unplayable on ym pentium 4 2.26Ghz machine at my screen's native resolution.

    if you really want to play halo (don't bother, it sucks), get an xbox.

    Going to need to know your specs first... But unfortunately Gearbox didn't do a particularly efficient conversion, so you do need a reasonable system to play it. I'm sure things have improved with patches, but I couldn't tell you how much.

    Throw Halo in the bin and Buy Planetside. Far better. Mind you that needs a pretty ninja PC too, and broadband

    I can't believe I'm asking this but
    What are the chances of getting halo running on an MX 4000
    "If you don't have an anti-static wrist strap you can discharge your self by touching the metal edges of your ATX case, although this is not recommended."


    Building a PC!
    Components So Far:
    XFX Geforce MX 4000 128mb
    "SumEvision" (Who the hell are they) Multi channel PCI Sound card.
    Standard 56K Modem that I'll probably never use.
    Case with a bit missing but it's only superficial.
    (God this PC is turning into a joke. )

    That's cool.
    So all I need to know now is what GeForce my MX 4000 is.
    It dosn't say on the box.
    Any tips?
