Generally no, your video card should handle any AA on websites fine. I'm not an expert, so I can't tell you much.

As for settings on Halo, you should go from the lowest setting to the highest and deduce your own conclusion on the most playable setting.
 
i see i see, so really i shouldnt mess with it, well thanks for the links seems like somthing only heavy gamers should mess with, thanks much :)

No, if you want better images in games then you should increase them as much as possible. You will notice a big difference in games when applied.

well, then i have a question, what should i put them at for Halo? i run 1024x768

test it at every resolution til u find the best one? ;)
 
well figured there is a sweet spot for everyone in all games......sorry i understand what those settings are but didnt know they had to be customized per person, thats all :p

Don't use AA and AF in Halo. Halo uses a type of rendering that makes AA and AF useless (which is a real shame because the game could seriously use a little AF).

I think that you can enable AF, but you will get artifacting (funky shadows everywhere). At least, that's what I noticed.
 
yeah i just messed around with it, nothing big, plus i kinda keep low settings on Halo, dont perfer most of the details, plus im in 1024-768
