orange box doesn't have it, half life source is the slightly upgrade version, it has better water, lighting, audio, physics but not much else so you will be disappointed.

Black mesa mod is something a bit more worth getting, when/if it comes http://www.blackmesasource.com/

half-life has this hidef model pack. i haven't used it myself (since i like the game just fine the way it is), but it's supposed to have updated graphics (those of blue shift, i believe). info on this pack and how to install it can be found here:

http://www.steampowered.com/v/index.php?area=news&id=438

i think it's only for the original half-life and not half-life: source. the main difference between hl and hl: source is the physics engine - the source version uses source physics, which is what can be found in hl2. you can buy either hl or hl: source, but you have to pay for each, i believe, if you want to get both. you get download them via steam.
