If it can run the programs and establish an FTP connection to the box, it should be fine

You also need lots of space because halo2's disk size is around 2 gigs (if you're putting it on ur HDD that is)

This is Halo Xbox Editing, not Halo 2 Modding General, either way, you only need a few hundred Mb.

to mod with your xbox, all I really recommend is to have more Hz and probably more RAM, I don't think your running much. Some of the programs would need more processor speed. A new processor usually means a new notherboard, so with a 2GHz processor at around $50-$60, a new motherboard (cheap) at around $20-$30, and 512MB Ram would cost about $30, so you can probably afford it. At least that's what the costs were a couple months ago for a computer I rebuilt.
