I heard something about a patch, unsure though. I have almost the same setup as you, except for a 2.2ghz athalon xp. (Im assuming you have the 256mb version of the FX5600) Halo runs awesome for me. I get no slideshowing, no slowdown, nothing, even with all the settings cranked. Maybe if you give a more complete system specs, we can point you to better drivers. Maybe you have some hardware error somewhere... Im not sure, but your problem doesnt make sense.
Be sure your halo is set to:
No VSync, 800x600(to start, i run it at 1024x768)
If you still experience slowdown, try
halo.exe -useff
I dont know what it does, but i heard it helps some systems
I have:
Asus A7N8X Deluxe
AMD XP2400+ Overclocked to 2.2ghz
GeForce FX5600 w/ 256mb ddr and 8x agp (Slightly software overclocked)
512mb pc2700 ddr ram
thats everything relevant, i think
