Will H2V run on my PC? Is it worth the money?

[nooBBooze]

Will it run on ur PC? Probably.
Will it be worth it? Wait for the price to drop. And if you havent a gold account, wait for it to drop to 20 bucks per copy. You will still regret having spent 10 bucks more than what its actualy worth but it probably wont get any cheaper (price wise).
Other than that, keep praying for some hax so modding will allow some skilled ppl around here to imrpove the game experience.

...or even seen benchmarks of it.

Uh, have you? It's out-performed by the X800.

How do i get my 2 Mb back?

You don't get it back directly. When in-game the 2 MB should be back. I don't know how to explain this, but 1 or 2 MB being missing during a system specs scan is not uncommon at all. For example, I used to have a laptop with 512 MB dedicated RAM. When systemrequirementslabs scanned it, it showed up as 511 MB even though my video card did not share system RAM.

When Windows Vista scans my current desktop, it can show up as 1022 MB instead of 1024 (1 GB). Don't worry about it at all. It happens to everyone.

But I highly recommend you double your amount of RAM asap. Even if you're not gaming, Windows Vista does struggle with less than 3/4 GB of RAM. When playing high-end games on Vista, 2 GB RAM becomes very helpful, which is why I plan to upgrade to 2 GB soon (desktop only, since my laptop has XP).

And you might want to get a real video card (you are using a desktop, right?) so that you don't lose system RAM to your integrated video. A video card's own memory is much faster than the main system memory.

It is also located directly on the chip which creates a lower latency.

As for missing a few megabytes of memory, there is always a small label on the package of a hard drive or RAM saying "Actual size may vary" or some such statement.

Hello everyone,
I am a long time fan of halo and have been playing every version of each game since the day it came out, Halo CE was my all time favorite because the mapping was fun and playing custom maps made the halo universe just that much better. So i ask is buying Windows vista and Halo 2 vista worth it? Are there a lot of players or is it dead like Halo Ce? is H2EK like HEK from Halo CE?

The minimum requirements for Halo 2 Vista are as shown below.

• Microsoft® Windows® Vista™
• 2 GHz or faster processor
• 1 GB of system RAM
• 7 GB available hard disk space
• NVIDIA 6100, ATI X700, or above

My Question is, Will a computer run the system specs below run Halo 2 Vista well? I do not want to spend the money if it will only run on low specs.

• AMD 3500+ 64-bit processor
• 1 GIG of PC3200 DDR RAM (Upgrading to 2 GIG soon)
• 200 GIG Hard Drive
• Radeon X1600 512mb graphics card

It will run but VERY slowly.

Bullshit. Those are a bit better than my specs, and I can run it at 1024 x 768 at medium with ~ 30 fps. The people saying you need to have a high end PC for the game to be playable and look decent are full of it.

The only thing I can think of, is if you are infact using windows vista, you might need a bit of an upgrade, as I'm running it on XP.
