Hi guys,I recently won a new cheap PC,and i wanna give it to my nephew,but i don’t know if it will run the games he likes,i looked and halo combat evolved looks like a “light” game and popular,but i’m a “noobwit”,and i don’t know what hardware upgrades it needs to do so or if that can even be done,please help?

Answer #1
It will be more than enough to run halo on decent settings.
Answer #2
That would be fine to run Halo 1, and like has already said, on good quality settings too
Answer #3
Alright thanks for your time guys,but when i tried to install the GeForce graphics card on that PC i get the message:
“The graphics adapter installed in the system is not compatible with the current set of drivers”
Does this mean that graphic card is not compatible with that PC? and if not,,,Will the PC still be able to run the game without a graphics card? because the PC itself it’s slow as it is “untouched” right now.
Answer #4
Nevermind I’m looking for driver now.
Driver:

Also the video you have might or might not work depending on his motherboard so I would suggest checking if he has any pci express ports for video cards.
Answer #5
You need to Install the drivers for the graphics card, also i’de recommed adding something like 1gb of ram. But that computer is already up to running the first halo game.
