no can do. To play most of todays games you need an AGP card mate. Especially HALO since it needs Hardware Lighting and Transformation which is available in AGP cards. Also if you want to play the latest games ur gonna need an AGP card anyways! In that case u'll need to change ur motherboard and get a new graphics card... let u knw ur budget mate!

Yup ice is right but u will get crap frame rates, and the game will run slow during fights and stuff ! Hell halo is a abomination since it give crap frame rates even on hi-end cards.
