I'd go with the ATI Radeon. GeForce 3 are old cards. I have an ATI 8500 and it works well with the rest of my computer. I manage about 60 fps in a 26 player Renegade game.

Ohhhh you meant the video cards I picked out to buy ok I got ya now. Well, my dad said I should wait untill after christmas to buy a video card because the prices of things always go down after chrismas, and also he said he'll give me $26 to help buy my vid card with, so now my price is $126 for a video card BTW my current video card is the worst one on http://www.newegg.com LOL! it's only $26 I've had my current video card since, I dunno LOL!

Hmmm.... I saw a GFFX5200 for less than 100$, shipment included, last week.

Why waste money, currently, on third generation GPUs when the 5th gen is already at a low price (the lower end of the 5th gen).

I'm sure any of those cards will be ok for Halo. Halo runs just fine on my GeForce2 mx400, hard to believe.
