MysticSpade Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 ok guys i finally broke down and got HALO for PC and installed it today. it keeps giving me these video card error messages like saying i need to upgrade. so pretty much i need at LEAST 32MB Vid card that'll work with a Compaq Presario S5140WM. also i would like to know the cheapest and where i could get it from. if it will help i am in Dallas TX for those of you familiar with this area somewhat.

leXX Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 32MB? O.o I recommend you get at the very least a 128MB card. I would recommend the Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB or the GeForce FX 5900 XT 128MB. Both in the £150 price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look around for offers on the Geforce Fx 5900, I got £50.00 off mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O.o I recommend you get at the very least a 128MB card.... yeah, a 32mb card cant do much for you with the newer games these days......especially something like Halo.....youd need 128mb, like lexxy says.....I wish I could upgrade the card in my laptop.......but its a bit hard to justify it as a business expense mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticSpade Posted June 5, 2004 Author Share Posted June 5, 2004 well see i didn't get the box with the game so i didn't get to check the system req. and i mostly don't use my PC for games so it didn't cross my mind to upgrade. but i know i'll get a 128MB vid card but the cheapest i have seen them round here for is $150 and i aint got that kinda money at the moment. as it is i can just make my bills and have gas money, i can't even buy groceries....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mex Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 Search around for any local computer fairs, they always offer lower prices than the stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Homer Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 Interesting fact, Google has a calculator function (http://www.google.com/help/features.html & calculator is a couple down, or click the link) and if you enter "the answer to life the universe and everything" into it, it comes up with 42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa_0 Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 I would suggest you looking at Halo's requirements and then taking a good look at your PC. Then we can start seeing what we need to do to update your machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCanr2d2 Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Then forget that, and upgrade to the latest of everything if you ever intend to play Doom 3 or Half Life 2..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Groovy Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Sell it on Ebay. Buy an XBoX and play Halo on that. Seriously, with the money you need to spend on updating your freaking card, why not just get the XBox/Halo kit? http://www.samsclub.com/eclub/main_shopping.jsp?n=0&oidPath=0%3a-23542%3a-23589%3a-24301%3a-24308%3a839323&coe=0&BV_SessionID=_SC_0207873755.1086852678_CS_&BV_EngineID=ccciadcljfiddjmcfkfcfkjdgoodfkh.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually have both. I like the Halo for PC because I can play online adn stuff. But nothin beats having a buncha friends over for 16 player halo.
