^Orange Box.;)

BTW I am very curious as to what frame rates are you getting with Gears of War when you say it runs very well on that onboard setting.:rolleyes:

Missed the 'NO' in his statement I guess.;)

Then in that case,Bloodmoney would be a no go as the game is heavily shader intensive.Two Thrones could do with low settings & same goes for Halo 2.OB would have a good VFM for both price & performance.:)

Yep Orange Box is gazillion times better than that PC port of Halo 2.

You get 5 world class games in OB including a multiplayer and you can download peggle extreme and source sdk(developer tools) for free.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R (experiencing realism and free exploration was never better)
Condemned:Criminal Origins (scariest melee game)
Bioshock (not played but reviews are good)
COD 4 (lotsa say bout this game in this forum)
Prey (innovative)

All above will run decent xcept Bioshock.
