ok ya the title says it. i have a weak graphics card and im a halo fan. i play it at school on the trial but id like to play the full game here at home. if you think you can help me find a good graphics card to match my requirements or whatever it would be greatly appreciated.
You gotta give a little more info than "I want to play but cant". What are you computer specs? Allot of really smart people on here that will be able to help you but you gotta give the info needed.
i forgot exactly how to post them but i think this is it. edit: um how do i post them it says too many characters wait i think this is ok. idk if its exactly wat you guys want to see.

ok dont know how to check ports thing. but here is the display thing. i cant get the pic to show up so just put that in address bar. http://i32.tinypic.com/el1cb8.jpg
ok but where can i get this card? also heres what halo trial says when i try to start it up. "Your computer's video driver is known to have serious issues with the game. A newer version that is compatible may be available. If you wish to update your drivers, please contact your computer manufacuter for any necessary assistance." Machine Info: 1700MHz, 960MB, 64M VIA KM400 (0x7205)
driver is only helpful if you've got an existing graphics card that supports that game!
If you don't then the updating the drivers won't help. Check www.systemrequirementslab.com and see if you can run halo or halo 2. By the ways what's your current video card?
go to can you run it? link:http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtestand choose hal1 or halo 2 then it will scan ur system and it will say wut ur gfx card is.
ya ive had it going ever since i posted. ok it just had a bug i re-did it and i got this result of my graphics card VIA/S3G KM400/KN400 (S3G KM400/KN400)
yeah via GPU's suck. They should still be able to play halo 1 though, i got a computer with 128mb of ram 1.6ghz processor and intergrated graphics to run it at a playable framerate. It musn't like the driver, type that model no into google with driver written after it.
its for an update on it however its still wise to get a gpu because really playing halo is great and all but there will always be "whats next?" say for example if they make ODST or wars on pc id imagine youd want that too just pick upo an hd 2400 pro and all will be right with the world (i suggest it because its that last ard to cover all three slots (pci-e, agpx8, and pci)
