Halo really laggy on Multiplayer?

I'm on a TiBook 1Ghz with 768mb of ram and the Radeon 9000 mobility.

And well, first impressions of Halo multiplayer seemed good. But now I can't find a decent server where there is no lag. This is even on servers with 2/10 people online!

I'm on a 512k DSL line and this doesn't happen with Soldier of Fortune or Jedi Outcast.

Any ideas how to improve speed? I've turned down the settings quite a bit to 800x600 and textures to medium.

Thanks,
Oliver

If he has a Radeon 9000 he won't be able to enable them in the first place.

I remember seeing that option when I first loaded Halo and that window came up. I selected to not show it again, is there a way to make it show again, as I cant seem to figure out how to turn them off in Video settings within Halo.

"Lag" as in high latency, or low framerates? Two VERY different issues!
Be happy.

It's such a lagfest, in games with a high number of players. It hurts.
