How do you think Halo and Oni will run on a Pentium II 450 with 128 megs of RAM and a 8MB Voodoo2 card? I'm planning on upgrading to the latest 3dfx card before Halo is released and upgrading the ram to at least 256, maybe max is out at 512 since I do a lot of object rendering in 3D Studio Max. But would I really need to upgrade or would I be ok without upgrading?
