hi..
you have seen that halo was released the 9/30 on PC. i read some of the review, and they somewhat imply that you need a P IV 2.4 GHz and to play it reasonnably fast at 800x600.

i seek the knowledge of my knowledgeable fellows (sic).
how do you explain that a game that ran smoothly on the xbox (PIII 733 MHz, GF 3.5, 64 MB RAM ...) need such a powerful PC to run correctly ? especially when you know that most PC ports on xbox do not run especially faster on xbox than on PC...
could it be that game was unoptimized for PC ? (sorry, i'm still the paranoid guy you know...)
also if you see a review with a radeon 9600 pro..

The one I've used the most is a 2.4GHz machine with a GeForce 4. At that level, I was able to play with all the details up at 800x600 fairly smoothly.

But the biggest problem with the graphics -- and the entire game, for that matter -- is that you'll need a pretty powerful PC to run Halo at a steady clip. My main machine is a P2.54 GHz P4 with a GeForce 4 and 1GB of RAM, and I've been running new releases like TRON 2.0, Jedi Academy and Call of Duty at 1024x768 without so much as a stutter -- and that's with all the eye candy cranked up. But even at 800x600 with some of the details turned down, Halo still feels sluggish -- disappointing for a game that looked fantastic and ran fairly well on the Xbox two years ago.
