1) You need way over what the min. specs are to make it worthwhile. And it had problems with an nVidia card and an ATI Rage card. Probably needs 1GHz really.
2) It won't work on Win98. The only PC I can get my hands on at the moment runs that particular OS, and it's the only one with Broadband Goddamit!!! Halo requires DirectX 9.0 to work, which doesn't run on Win98. Sure it's a few years old, but that's what we've got and I can't change that tonight. Even the download for DirectX 9.0b from the Microsoft site (which claims to be for Win98) doesn't work - you need Win98SE at least.

Yeah, it does work with Win98 - check the help file that comes with it. Something about altering DMA settings I believe. Anyway, Win98 is archaic by modern standards - upgrade to 2000/XP ya tight git! ;)
Oh yeah, and when I finally get it working, you're all gonna die by my assault rifle!
