Re: Halo initializing Direct 3D error Sis 300 video card

Hi Lou M,

You really should upgrade to a recent model video card with
at least a little "oomph" if you want to play games like Halo. :-)

I'm not extravagant. My really inexpensive nVidia Ti4100 64MB
card runs the game with a fairly decent FPS at 800 x 600 res.

Your card isn't supported for Halo according to:

Others have tried to get your card to work with Halo and failed:

Do yourself a favor and pump-up your puter some! :-)
