I posted this in the PCGaming forum, but I thought I should put it here too in case your head-rods break and you all get stuck in General Chat:
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.
3) When I finally get online with it you're all dead anyway, so you might as well uninstall it now and give me the frags. The end.

i dunno. i have played a few amazing online games and im on 56k. it depends more on who is hosting it. If they are using say T1 then it tends to run pretty well. I played a game today with one other guy on broadband, doing warthog jousting. Aim being to knock the other person from their warthog then run them over. Was damn good run as well.
PLayed one game with about 12 people with next to no lag as well. had some good kills in that one.

Except I said "bar online multiplayer" so no need for Live.

Alternatively you can play glitch free Halo which is essentially the same bar online multiplayer, and look forward to Halo 2 in 6 months time instead of sometime in 2006, by buying a 129.99 console, which is probably not as expensive as most of the graphics cards failing to run Halo...
