It will make it run smoother but you need better stuff in your pc to have the perfect gaming experience.

Upgrading your RAM should help.

If you're buying a 5200 as an upgrade... Your graphics card must be really bad. Halo doesn't take up much memory, so as long as you have 256 mb of ddr 333 or faster it shouldn't be lagging because of memory (the Xbox only has 64 mb of ddr 200). If you are going to get an old low end pci card, I would recommend the radeon 9200 pci. The 9200 plays dx9 games better than the 5200 and Halo runs in dx9, so it may run better than the 5200.
