I fully agree. Halo is totally unplayable on my TiBook 867 even though it meets the minimum processor/video requirements. For now, my gaming money is on consoles, especially with hardware like the Nintendo Gamecube going for $99 - which is much cheaper than a processor upgrade, and has a bigger/better software library.
