    That is a good deal - the price for that same configuration on HPShopping.com was $1,000+.

    You should be able to play Halo just fine, but don't expect maximum settings. Halo is a very shader-intensive game, and difficult for a GPU to handle.

    If you want to game, you are better off looking at the Compaq V4000t.
