Again, why the heck would you want to buy Halo? -b0b (...remembers the incredibly crappy level design in the original Halo.)

For what it's worth, Baldur's Gate II required 5GB, and that came out when years ago. 8GB isn't all that bad by comparison. -b0b (...wowza!)

Quote:

* OS: Windows XP SP2 / Vista
* CPU: Dual Core Processor
* RAM: 2 GB RAM
* Video: Nvidia 7800 or higher / ATI x1300 or higher
* Disk space: 15 GB

Those are the minimum requirements! I'll admit, the game is pretty, but that's a lot of RAM's and literally tons of the Gigs!

I was reading this article: Quote:

Did any of you know that Vista has DRM protection? Wow...really?! Is Microsoft trying to become the internet police? That's scary. I would rather have Bush and Chaney guard my newly won lotto money. I would rather have Michael Jackson babysit my kids. I would rather have Rosie O'Donnell watch my hot fudge sundae while I go to the bathroom!
