I installed halo combat evolved and the game runs terrible.Nothing is running and I have a gforce fx 5200 128mb.Qauke 3 runs great.any ideas?

http://www.computing.net/gaming/wwwboard/forum/1187.html No offense, but a Fx5200 is a budget card so it sucks. Halo is a very GPU-dependant game... Asus P4S800 Pentium 4 2.6ghz @ 3.0ghz eVGA Geforce FX 5900 SE SB Audigy LS

Even my Geforce FX 5900 can just bout play the game at 50-60 fps average with a Athlon XP 2600 333fsb 1gb Dual Channel PC3200 DDR

Lower your resolution down to 800X600 or 640X480 to improve performance. Halo is not a good measure of overall gaming performance.

Halo is terrible on comp and can barely run on the best of computers, ur not alone I hav it on 800 * 600 wit all low graphics and its choppy :( -------------------- Asus P4P800S mb P4 2.4Ghz (800Mhz) 1Gb DDR 400Mhz Ram Geforce FX 5600 128mb

I don't know about that... I run Halo very well, all high graphics at 1024x768. I have Radeon 9800SE softmodded to a Pro, athlon xp 2400+ processor, 512 mb ddr... If anything, the choppiness is from the video card. I had a Geforce 4 mx440, I could still run it at 1024x768 just with low graphics... keep in mind that antialiasing does not work with Halo and causes reduced framerates when on.

Same here, Halo runs great on my comp at max settings 1024x768. im using fx5900 se, p4 2.6ghz @ 3.0ghz, 512mb ddr400, and sb audigy ls.
