Not sure if you can run Halo 2 Vista? Read here.

[Mr Buckshot]

sorry for the bump, but I forgot to state this important fact:

If a video card does not support DX9 hardware-wise, forget about running H2V at all. So, the Geforce 4 Ti > Geforce FX 5200, but I won't list it.

[Mr Buckshot]

Sorry for thread bump, but with so many newbies asking whether their Intel GMA 950 cards can run H2V, I figured a thread like this would be very helpful, especially once they start asking what they should upgrade too.

Wait, Im lost.

Im browsing the internets looking for a new laptop, and I found one with an X1200, it says its not integrated, and has 128MB dedicated graphics RAM, but on your list it says integrated and avoid, should I avoid this, or go for it, since its probably the most I can afford?

Urh a X1200 is integrated you must (or the computer manufacturer) be retarted.

X1200 is DEFINITELY integrated, so the store is retarded...

And also, I guess it's a below low-end card, so no way in hell you can even play CS:S@minimum requirements well let alone Halo 2.

HP/Compaq ship ATI integrated cards with dedicated RAM, but this doesn't stop the cards from being integrated. They perform slightly better than IGPs with shared RAM, but not much better.

You can always google the card and find out if it's integrated or not, if it's below low-end, mid-range, and high...etc.
