Game Forum / Action Games / Halo/Halo 2 / February 2005Minimum System required
Hi I received a phone call from one of my son's friends and he had just bought a new game, it was HALO. When he tried to launch the game, it was a no go. His system specs were (if I remember correctly) AMD 1800 S3 Stealth-Pro video card 224 meg of ram. Should his system be able to run HALO? Thanks for the help chilimac On 2/7/2005 9:18 AM chilimac brightened our day with: >Hi > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >chilimac > nope, need a real video card  SignatureSteve ¤»Inglo«¤ www.inglostadt.com Which inexpensive real video card do you recommend? Will a geforce 4 mx run HALO with his system, he is on a limited budget? Thanks chilimac >Which inexpensive real video card do you recommend? > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >Thanks >chilimac sure a GeForce4 MX 420 or 440 will run Halo no probs.. ubertoadie > I received a phone call from one of my son's friends and he had just > bought a new game, it was HALO.

A recent card from ATi or nVidia should fix his problems. I figure anything from a Radeon 7500 and up would be able to handle it, actually, even though it probably wouldn't be stellar. More RAM is always good, too, regardless of the application. > didn't even know S3 was still making the things these days. A recent card Scratch that... Never tried one, but S3's DeltaChrome cards sound like they'd be a pretty decent piece of kit... Not top-of-the-line, or anything like that, but pretty decent... Thanks for the info, it looks like a geforce 4 mx is the way for him to go. Chilimac > geforce 4 mx this is what finally got me to get an Xbox. You find out you need another video card to play a game, so you spring for $80, then more memory, $50-$60, OK fine, now you can play that game. 6 months later, you find another fantastic game that needs the latest greatest video card to play with anything more than a studder, but they really recomend you get the latest processor..... AHHHHHH!!!1 Spend that original $150 on an Xbox, any game for the Xbox will play on it regardless of when it's produced...... Yes, the Xbox next or 2 or whatever will likely be out in the next year or so, and that's an upgrade, but at least you have no doubt that a system will play that $50 game you just bought. ET |
