You sure as we have been playing both halo 2 and 3 on xp based machines and not had a problem with it.

yeah halo2 is a vista only one, u need a hack to allow it to play on xp.

and halo3 isnt out on pc, u mean 1 and 2?

Do you think the price of the originial spec is ok to refresh after all this halo talk the spec was:
AMD x2 6000+ 3.0GHz
2GB RAM (dno speed)
320GB Hard drive
2x 8500GT 512MB SLI Mode
dno the rest and it comes with XP Pro and nero (forgot to add nero)

or can i do better on the net this came to £500 but instead of the two 8500's i might be able to get an 8800GTS/GTX depending on the guys mood :P and my haggling skills >.<

Of course you need vista lol, havn't you girls heard of DX10? Unless someone brings it out for XP...You'll need vista. Vista is dirt cheap and actually better then XP no matter how you look at it.

Edit edit, yeah try get a 8800GTX two 8500's arn't really that good.

Ive purchased many items from novatech over the past 3 years and have never had a single problem with any of the products or their support.
