    I heard Halo 2 was ported badly and frame rates weren't capped.

    I reinstalled the newest BIOS and Graphics driver from Hp.com and............ Halo 2 still ran like crap. I spent two hours reinstalling the BIOS and Drivers then Halo 2 is still stupid. So I spend another hour reverting back to my overclocked settings by installing the old BIOS and forceware stuff.
