I wanted to get the HP Pavilion TX1120US Tablet PC, but I'm not sure if Halo 2 Vista will work fine on it or not. I like playing games with good graphic settings, so I wish it can take at least the medium setting.
Here are the specs:
AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core 1.8Ghz
GeForce Go 6150 - 559MB Shared
2GB of DDR2 Ram

Any ideas, guys?
Thanks!

Run Windows Vista - yes.

Run Halo 2 Vista - I don't think the game will even run, as in you might not even get to the main menu, because it's quite demanding.

Your tablet is in the 12" family of laptops. Any laptop smaller than 14" is not good for gaming at all because such laptops generally contain only integrated video cards (except the Dell XPS M1210 and Sony Vaio SZ)

It's a good laptop for the price but there's 2 things that'll really get you in this situation.

1. Small screen
A: Not much you can do about it, not a big deal but a noticable changes will be noticed from desktops.

2. Shared Memory Graphics Card
A: This is where you may break. A regular graphics card comes with a piece of memory attached to it. This allows it to be made specially for the graphics card with no extra "wires" for the information to go through. When shared it has to go from your hard memory to your graphics card then to your monitor while the earlier just goes right to the monitor(super layman terms here). This can cause slow down and major lack in performance.

lagtastic. I hate H2V being so demanding for our system specs...why!!!???
I had HAVE to upgrade to a new computer.:mad: But on the other perspective, (lets hope i can get it) my new comp is pretty good.

I don't think H2V will be able to play on your Laptop, get better graphics card...or a desktop PC with a nVidia 7 - 8 series or ATI X1650 or better.

to atty: because H2V is demanding...did that really necessary need a -rep?

Your video card, being integrated, will be a bit of a killer.

Here's an article on the Geforce 6150 pushed to its limits:

vchanhk, you might want to check that article out. H2V is a no-no on that card but other games will run.

lol, i have a 6200 and I OC'ed from 350/400 (core/mem) to 400/800 and i can run high quality on 800X600 :awesome:

but on a laptop with a 6150, no. im pretty sure they make some with a 7300 GS or something.

Tablet PC's are almost always small and portable, so you'll almost never see a dedicated video card in a tablet.

A desktop PC is the way to go for gaming, but I'm sensing you're in a situation that requires you to have a laptop.

If you want to do any gaming on a laptop, you'll need something that's in the 14" or 15.4" size factor. 17" and up is groundbreaking but a bit too expensive. Oh, and laptops that can do gaming are going to break the bank by at least $1300 (mine was $1600).
