| | Re: Halo 2 It'll probably work. Make sure your drivers are all up to date, the Halo 2 webpage lists these requirements: OS: Windows Vista™ Processor: 2 Ghz Pentium 4 class processor (or x64) RAM: 1 GB Hard Drive: 7 GB Video Card: NVIDIA 6100, ATI X700, or above Online Multi-player: Internet connection for Games for Windows – LIVE Drive: DVD-ROM drive So you should be fine., the 2Ghz is for a single core processor, it might run a little slow, but drop down the resolution a bit and the game should be playable. -A.

It'll run just fine. I'm running it now on my A215-S4767, same video card/cpu. |

| | Re: Halo 2 The Halo 2 PC product only supports Windows Vista. This was a limitation of the early version of Games for Windows Live, and a choice made by the publisher, Microsoft Game Studios. Technologically, it's an Xbox original / DirectX version 8 game. -- Chuck Walbourn SDE, XNA Developer Connection This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. |

| | Re: Halo 2 Actually you'd be better off saving your money since the game itself isn't that great. A port of an old game that should have been upgraded for the PC but was pushed out and overpriced to make a fast buck.

| Vista Ultimate X64 SP2 | Re: Halo 2 Dual core not supported. Your cpu is too slow. A 1.3 GHZ dual core cpu does not mean you have the performance of a 2.6 GHZ- Each core ONLY performs at 1.3 GHZ. Game requires minimum of 2.0 GHZ. Operating system Windows Vista Computer processor 2.0 gigahertz (GHz) Memory 1 gigabyte (GB) or random access memory (RAM) Hard disk space 7 GB of available hard disk space. The dedicated server and the map editor require more hard disk space. Video card ATI X700 or Nvidia 6100 display adapter with 128 megabytes (MB) of RAM and the following features: • Pixel shader: 2 or higher • Vertex shader: 2 or higher Windows Experience Index scores: • Graphics score: 3 or higher • Gaming graphic score: 3 or higher DVD drive 32x speed Sound Sound card, speakers, or headset Supported controls Keyboard and mouse or compatible game controller (Xbox 360 Controller for Windows) Internet connection for online play Network adapter for LAN multiplayer gameplay Broadband Internet access for Windows Live multiplayer gameplay Back to the top Unsupported hardware The hardware must pass a system check when you run the Setup program or when you run the game.
