I'm too excited to explain myself so read this article on bungie.net

YAY!!!!!!

Will I need a DirectX 10 graphics card to run Halo 2 on PC?

No. Although you will require Windows Vista to play Halo 2 on a PC, you won't necessarily need to upgrade your graphics card to do it. Halo 2, like some other Vista titles, will work just fine on a wide range of graphics cards, including DX9 cards. We will provide far more detailed minimum hardware requirements closer to the game's completion.

YAY!!!!!!! I can use my ATI Radeon X850 XT PE 256MB PCI-E Video card to play

Microsoft has a program that will test if your computer can handle Vista. You can also download the Beta 2 now which, in my opinion rox.

I don't see why so many people are making a big deal about vista. Why is this a bad thing? I'd be happy to get rid of my old system to get a new one. The requirements for Vista seem very low too, anyone with a graphics card 6 years old should be able to run it....

Yay, I can get it

Yeah, Id be really happy to get rid of XP for the new line of OS. New operating systems are always really cool.

Yes, I can run it. But, what IS it? Simply a download? How can it make your graphics more pretty?

It's like the difference between Windows 98 and 2000... And 95 with 98. Get it? I wouldn't say 2000 to XP since there is a major difference in appearance with those two.

Kind of. Obviously I'm not a major expert in this.

I'd get it without thinking, that's all I know.

BTW, Tural, that list had 5 items on it lol.

It actually has 25. But he wasn't saying it had 4, he was talking about the 4th worst tech item, not that there are 4.
