The easiest way to solve framerate problems is to force the game to use pixel shader 1.1 instead of 2.0. To do this right click on the game's desktop shortcut, click properties and in the target window you'll see:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo\halo.exe"
Put a space after the target and then type -use11 and click Apply. Then, whenever you launch the game through that shortcut the game will use the DirectX 8.0 pixel shader. It affects the graphics in a few unimportant ways, such as no specular lighting, but it should dramatically increase your performance.
I did this before I upgraded my laptop and it worked like a charm.
Hope that helps.
