Unfortunately that's just the way Halo is, especially on XP.
Halo runs about twice as fast if it's on Windows 98, whcih is extremely frustrating.
Let's just hope when they port across Halo 2 onto PC, they won't fuck it up this time

werd... I'm going to try the new Omega drivers when they come out.

G4 1.33GHz, 768MB of RAM...

Oh wait, you mean PC specs...
Sempr0n 2600+, Berk's A7N8X Deluxe, 1GB of RAM, 80GB, Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB reference board and one of those lovely Logitech MX 1000 Laser things (but I only ever use one button, the others scare me with their mere presence).

Yeah, I miss that thumb rest when I use the MS one on my mac, but I bought it for games and it shall remain connected to the PC... Until I buy a second one :D

It runs Halo like a piece of crap, have to run it on lowest rez and specular off to get a smooth fps

Unfortunately Halo was poorly converted from the XBox to PC, and this resulted in the game running terrible on almost all the machines that were about at it's time of release.

Since then with newer graphics and faster memory etc. the game has finally become "playable" on the PC, allthough it's a tad too late

Which is a bit odd considering an Xbox is a Pentium III running something not a million miles away from Windows.

Server in lounge cupboard
XP2000+
256mb DDR266 ram
40gb system disk
400gb storage
This hosts all my music/films/tv shows for the whole house (ive got two housemates who have to put up with me. poor souls). It doesnt have any keyboard/mouse/monitor as its all admin'd over the network. It stays on 24/7 and whores bittorrent most of the time

I use a chipped xbox on the network running XBMC to watch stuff off the server streamed to my TV. Very handy

And i am in the process of building a mini ITX computer. I have the innards but havent had time to build a nice box. When finished it should be about the size of a small DVD player. ATM its just a pile of bits.

I also use a wifi PDA to watch films (and porn) in bed. Oh yeah baby

I think thats about it!

gawd, i sound like a dick when i re-read this. Oh well. But honestly im not. i just have too much time on my hands and a penchant for gadgets

Prof Hawking :

That's a nice (yet extremely nerdy) setup you have there.

Do you find streaming TV etc. hard to setup, or does everything run quite smoothly once it's all configured properly?
