Well since my wife and I are in the middle of a big move I am not allowed to spend alot on a new comp. BUT.. I want to play the VISTA live games... so just wondering if this computer will pull off Halo 2. I plan on pumping the ram up to 2 gigs though.. that much I know I have to upgrade,

any feedback would be great

Not on the highest settings, but you could run it. Id recomend upgrading the RAM if anything else.

Thanks for the feedback.. I assumed the memory was going to need a boost, but good to hear it could get it to run in some form.

Thanks again :)

The Processor is more than enough to play Halo 2, and I think that you have enough RAM as well. What I would suggest upgrading first would be your video card, it won't be able to play the game smoothly on high settings, but it should work fine on low settings.

It doesn't look like the video card can be upgraded. He'd just have to live with low or medium settings at 800x600 with that. :-3

That card is the card on the minimum requirements. it will run on low 800X600 ~15 FPS (i have a 6200, without driver hax it runs at about 5 FPS) I would HIGHLY suggest building a computer. Its really easy, upgradeable, overclockable, and cost efficient.

Dude, the 6100/6150 is INTEGRATED.

Run H2V - yes.

Run H2V with acceptable performance - hell no. You get under 15 fps at 640x480 on the lowest settings.

paladin is wrong.

never ever play modern games with integrated video cards if you can help it.

the rest of the stuff is pretty good, but get more RAM. However, the motherboard should have a 16x PCI express slot in it that you can fill with a real video card.
