...Your expecting Halo 2 for Windows Vista to run well on a glorified 9600 XT?
And I could have sworn the minimum CPU requirement for H2V was a 2.0 ghz CPU.
Also, if you almost fry components while overclocking, please don't continue. Im pretty sure your using the stock heatsink amirite? Not a good idea. Your better off buying a $30 7300 or going for something that doesn't suck. Like an $150ish 8600 GT.
Not to excuse the fact that they somehow managed to get a game that ran on basically a Geforce 3 and an 800 mHz Pentium 3 to not perform at least the same on a much much much more powerful platform, even with some features tacked on or "improved". Even taking console optimizations into account the PC simply has so much more power to use that it simply shouldn't run as bad as it does.
Thats way besides the point though. Nice job on getting the game to work on XP abcba. Were you the same guy (or in the group) who also got Shadowrun working on XP by any chance?
