will my core 2 6300 play games great for vista like halo2 when it comes out or should i upgrade it it is 1.8ghz =2.79ghz 64bit
you mean a direct x 10 video card cuz he already have one lol i dont think halo 2 requires dx10 does it?!! peace
Well i have the same card (PCI-E version) and a core2duo 2.13GHz overclocked to 2.5GHz per core and it will even play Rainbow 6 Vegas just fine, and that is the most demanding game i know of right now. The game requires at least 3GHz processor though. 3.5GHz just to be safe. So that is the first upgrade i would look into. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819115003 that one would just be great, that is the one i want to step up to but as of now my 2.13GHz is doing everything i need (and is also $100 cheaper than the 2.4GHz).
You have all just make sure Halo 2 isnt a single thread process which means it will use only 32bits out of 64bits and that would mean you will get lag with only 1.8ghz and you NEED windows vista which is more dumb then xp it looks great but its too gltchy i have ultimate.
