    Halo2 detects slow processor, runs s l o w

    I have a brand new I BUY POWER desktop 4 gig of memory 64 bit 5 speed. Home premium Vista, A gamers machine I got from amazon to play Halo.

    I install Halo and up pops a message:

    Current speed 1000 megahurtz
    Max speed 2600 megahurtz
    Minimum required to run Halo 1500



    I looked at the bios and on the control panel for its configuration it says 2.6 so, is there something I can check to see if halo is getting the right processor response when it starts up?

    Sounds like you have an Intel processor. You should read the stickies:

    +1 speedstep all though it's odd that it's not clocking up when it should be.

    you can disable speedstep in the BIOS, it's called C1E
