Don't overclock unless you know what you are doing, it will cause your computer to run unstably and it might damage parts of your computer. Overclocking is forcing your computer parts to run at faster speeds than they are supposed to, but it isn't supported, and will void your warranty and there is always the risk of crashing, or having your computer parts overheat and become damage and/or unusable. If you have a 16 mb video card, it probably doesn't have a new enough shader system on it to run halo, and if it can, even if it is overclocked, it will crash a lot because it will not be able to draw all the stuff in the 16 megabytes of video ram. I would recommend getting a new computer, but if you think the rest of your computer can handle halo you can just get a new video card.

well, i hav halo on my dad's pc, but he really duzn't want halo on his. my dad wants mine to work for halo but we can't find n e graphix card that is 32 Mb or higher that supports 2x. Also, halo will work with a 730 Mhz processor, right? (jus 3 Mhz)

i'd recommend getting a newer processor and v-card (1gig+ for processor and 256mb+ for v-card)
and do u have enough RAM?

he's right u know, and no , you cant overclock a gfx card, FACE IT YOURE SCREWED!!!! unless u buy a better gfx card !

edit: well yeah, ur computer sux, no offence, but yeah, get a new one, cuz theres is no way ur running with a lower than 32mb, and EVEN there, it better be the best 32mb in the world, cuz it wont work in that case either! but nowa these days u can get a computer for lest than 500$ ,your choice, using ur dad's is cool, but like, he wont let you play on his whenever you want...... will he?

That would run Halo nicely. To run Halo, you need at LEAST a 64mb video card, 128 or 256 suggested.

You can run halo on some 32 mb cards, my friend had a shitty voodoo and he could play halo, it's just that the shaders don't show up so there are no textures (everything is white, you can only see stuff in in very bright light, lol) and I used to have an Nvidia geforce 2 GTS 32mb and I played halo, the textures were fine, it's just the performance was crap, there was no pixel shading so halo was forced to use vertex shading, which is really ugly and I couldn't enable specular. If your dad lets you use his computer, just use his instead of your own.
