Number Of CPUs: 1

L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB

What are the best settings to make it run smooth? --also --how do I get the initial settings screen back ? I checked the box and cant get back into it? HELP!

Try this:
Res: 800x600
FSAA: Off
Lens flare: Low
Detail: Medium
Detail Objects Unchecked
see how that works for you.

STFU, Donny.  
This sounds about perfect for you, Donny. You might even be able to take high models.

Also thanks for input and Merry x-mas

halo is so laggy.
Incredible.
I mean, any OpenGL game on OS X is laggy, it's so horrible. I,m ashamed of game performance.

Hold command on startup, and it will get that dialogue back. Make sure you have FSAA off—it messing Halo up on GF cards. Good luck! All the resolution changes you can do from within Halo.
Halo runs great on my machine.

What graphics card is that on?
Its smooth on my 1Ghz eMac (not exactly a beefy machine) except for servers that are slow.
