If this is correct,  then my computer is fine for halo and it is my dodgey Australian internet that is making me laggy laggy.

More likely the long distance between you and the server.
And, and FYI, my PC is well over the min specs for Halo, but I get lag. That's 10-year-old technology on a 6-year-old motherboard for you :|

As I'd hoped, my new gaming rig passed everything I have/play at the "Recommended configuration" level!

:yesyes:

Oddly tho, when I tried Crysis - which I neither have nor play - just to check my system out versus the most demanding game out there, I failed the "Recommended" due to lack of video RAM (wanted 640MB, I have 512MB... times two!), DESPITE my running in SLi mode for the tests!

I'm guessing their system does not yet know how to deal with this new technology, so if you're running SLi mode, keep that in mind when you run their checks....

P.S. I KNOW that the video memory gets ganged together in SLi mode, as I ran one of my games in "test mode" that produced loads of stats, and it reported the 1GB video RAM was available and being used by the game....

My video card could use some work. Passed the minimum, but usually always fails the recommended. All my other stuff looks pretty nice though.

Thanks to Plixity for this awesome sig!

I failed for Halo 2.

CPU and CPU Speed I passed.

RAM, Operating System and Video Card I failed. :P

Don't worry 'bout that. Halo 2 is a joke.

THANKS  SLAYTON  FOR  THE  A W E S O M E  SIG!!!

LOL, I just found out that my computer apparantly fails the minimum requirements for Halo :P  That's funny because I never have any lag while playing with all video settings turned up, and the thing that made me fail the minimum was the video card :P  Seems like mine needs to have something called Video HW Transform & Lighting and it is required :P  I HAVE noticed that my shadows are a little strangely colored (i.e. I have no problem seeing in the dark ingame because the shadows are dark red instead of black :P)

If it's barley meeting there is a chance you'll be getting bad FPS, which people often think is lag.

Oh yeah, for minimum, it's only failing cause my video card is incapable of doing ONE thing :P  other than that, Halo on this computer is golden :swoon:

Noooo!  The site is down!  I need to see what I need to upgrade so my sister can play Halo on her own computer...
You blame me?  Remember it had to get past 10 other players before I saw the ball.

Thanks to Spidey for this sig!                                                                                                                  .
