go to the :apple: logo at the top left corner and select about my mac, click on more info and click the graphics tab. the model/vendor and maybe some other details (relevant in your opinion) too.

So you have an older iMac? If I were you, I'd play with the graphics settings in Halo and see if you can't get the results you want.

I am going to get this update and run through my Halo once I get home from work tonight. I have a MBP, so my graphics will probably be better.

Hopefully this doesn't break Halo. I love this game!

yea i tried, it helped abit, but its limited, i changed it as far as it goes and as good as it goes, but still, having poor graphics, but better than before. i dont know what to do i emailed the company now.. i dont know what is the difference but all i know its a G4 Mac OS X 10.3.9 not an iMac
