I recently bought Halo combact evolved and installed it into my HDD but to my surprise, I could not play the game due to VGA Hardware problems.
I am using an nVIDIA RIVA 64 PRO/64M with 32 MB memory and it is running at 300MHz onboard processor speed with 1.4GB transfer speed. The game complained that It is having probs with my VGA.
I ran an analysis of my VGA with a system analysis software called Everest Home Edition and I was able to detect that my VGA does not have a feature called Hardware Transform and Lighting. I think thats the problem with t he game cause the software recommended that I should get a VGA with that feature as most modern games require it to play.
I would like someone to recommend a good VGA card with that feature for me. ATI or nVIDIA are my prefered VGA cards.
Removed the entire quote. When replying with a simple question you do not need to quote the entire message. And do not add within quotes (I am talking about four smilies you added between lines).
VGA means....video graphics adapter. Thats the hardware that displays everything that is going on in your CPU on the monitor. without a VGA card, you cannot view anything on your monitor screen.
I hope that my simple explanation solves your problem.
halo is a pain to play on pc and requires some nice hardware to run smoothly. i had problems on a 5200 and a 2600XP+ and it only runs smooth on my new 64 bit system with an OC'd 6600GT (handles it just as well un-overclocked) basicly you will need a 2ghz+ CPU, i would recomend no less than 512 MB of ram and a midrange card to get it working, a 5700U, 5900XT, 9600XT, 9700P or if your thinking of upgrading and can aford to spend a little more got for a 6600GT as they kick some serious ass (beats a X800 in most games ) basicly you may be needing a total system upgrade

Try to search from "www.usa.asus.com" you can find many video card there and check for the requiresment you need.
Check it first if it fits the requirements needed for your games before you buy a new one, theres a lot of vga card out there, but for me I suggest asus VGA card Radeon X850Series is enough.
I installed a new PCI Video Card for my PC and when I started to boot up the computer nothing came

Currently, I am using a Pentium 4 630 (running at 3.0GHz factory default) powered PC which I have
overclocked to 3.40GHz. Combined with a 1.0GB of Dual channel DDR 400 (which my ASRock motherboard
is clocking down to DDR 333) with 240GB (80GB x 3 ) and 4 CD/DVD drives (3x CD-RW + 1 DVD-RW). My
motherboard is being powered by an Intel 865GV Northbridge chipset (800 FSB). It is not like this
computer is not functioning properly, but I want a higher performance considering the fact that I am
runing a lot of multitasking aplications like 3DSMax, MAYA, Photoshop CS3, DW CS3....
Well I got two weeks left in the semester and on August 18th I will have built my first computer
from scratch, now hopefully during the rest of the year I will have build up a series of topics on
computer hardware and tutorials on building a computer from scratch that most of you will never have
to buy a pre built system again /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0"
alt="biggrin.gif" />. With that being said this is the final specs of the computer I will be
building, after I had a fluke with my floppy drive (had the wrong one). Keyboard &....

The operations that take place when a hardware interrupt occurs are as follows: 1.A special chip
called Interrupt Controller chip receives the interrupt signal. 2.The Interrupt Controller chip
notifies the microprocessor that an interrupt has occurred. 3.To keep track of what microprocessor
was doing before it was interrupted, it saves the contents of registers CS, IP and Flags in stack.
4.The microprocessor retrieves the number of the interrupt from the Interrupt Controller chip.
5.Having found out the interrupt number, it multiplies this number by four (since each add....

Hi, A friend of mine is having this really wird problems with his machine. He bought a computer

like that. So i took the hard disk and backup the important things in my box. I was thinking....
Hi everyone. Since most of you are good at computers I though I could use some help for my seminar
anyway being a part of this community I though let's make use of the knowlege and idea's of
people here. I am doing a seminar on PC hardware. Anything about hardware will do. I want to do it
nicely. Since there are over two thousand members here. I thought if all of you could lend me a
little of you idea's it would be great. I alone can do it. But with everyone's help it might
be a lot better. And if you can give me some information also it would be good....

Hi all, I have some old soundcard: AudioExcel Theatre, PCI,5+1... and after installing winxp sp2,
every time when i reboot, I have to enter safe mode and disable that soundcard because it wont boot.
Then when winxp boot's, I need to enable that soundcard manualy to get sound working...
Soundcard drivers are ok, and everything seems to be ok with card. Before sp2 everything was ok...
And I doubt that there are some newer drivers on internet... So anyone had some idea how to solve
this conflict? /huh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='huh.gif' /> ....
