I'm getting a new computer. Will these specs allow the game to run well?

CPU: Intel Pentium 4 3.20GHz
RAM: 2GB
GPU: ATI Radeon x1950 pro 256mb

Mainly, how's the graphics card?

You could do with a dual core CPU to be honest, but you are fine on the GPU side.

Graphics card is good, processor is horrible.

cpu is fine, just make sure your board supports c2d's for future upgrading. penryn is a foot!

i would suggest going to somewhere like http://avadirect.com for your pc building needs. i assume your building a new pc, b/c u would kno what kind of ram it would take otherwise and u didnt list that .)

From what I've been told, 98% of motherboard manufactures won't make a BIOS update to support the new penryn processors, you're better off just buying a bearlake supported board.

Yeah I'm having one built. Paying a local company. Gave them the recommended spec sheet for Halo 2 Vista and told them to make sure it can run it well.

I'll call them to make sure they're using a motherboard that can have the CPU upgraded.

yeah maybe not a penryn, but a c2d none the less.

make sure to tell them u want it to be Core 2 Duo compatible. that way u can use the cheap p4 and use it for a while, but when it becomes unbareable, just go pick up a <$200 cpu that will get you thru.

UPDATE:

Oops, my mistake. I posted the wrong kind of CPU. Here's the real CPU that'll be in my computer...

Intel Pentium D 3.4GHz Dual Core Processor

Is that better than the one I posted earlier?
