Yes, not only does that not fit my experiences, it also doesn't fit with reason. HL does not run inn Direct3D. It's just a wrapper that makes OpenGL calls.

Agreed, except with the G400 - running it in OpenGL mode causes about one hard system-lockup once per half dozon hours of run-time. Direct3D is more stable with the G400.
Counter-Strike and HL is 16bits color and changing desktop color will not help you at all.
Valve has included some anti-cheat in latest releases and that puts a heavy load on your CPU, so upgrading your CPU will help you alot.
Also, there is alot of tweaks out there for open-gl and CS. They might raise +10fps if done properly. Try them out.
I have a Athlon XP +1800, G400MAX@1024*768 and plays with 40-50 fps (maxfps=50). OpenGL of course!Comment
