HL/CS and Frames Per Second

Please bear with me on this....

I've heard people getting close to 100 FPS in Half Life and CS, just upgraded my PC and I'm still in the 30-50 range depending on the map/objects on the screen. I used to play using one of the larger resolution settings like 1052X800 or something, but now I've gone down to 640x480 to see if I can improve frame rates. I've tried changing the OpenGL driver from "default" to "mini Driver" in the CS config, I've played around with the BIOS, etc...

Here are my system stats:
P4 1.7 Mhz
256 DDR
Gigabyte 8i.. mother board
PNY Geforce TI4400 video board
20 inch Multisync monitor
Windows 98 SE
Cable Modem
Latest Nvidia Detonator Drivers
VSync turned off.

For all you CS players, what's your FPS, and help me improve mine.....
What benchmark program can I use to compare my performance to others with a similar system?? I used madonion before, but never really was able to compare my "score" to others with similar computers....

hummm... have you turned off AA?

open-gl mode @ wutever solution u use (NOT MINIDriver!!!)

use default settings on the ti4400 unless otherwise u have read through the vid card manual n know how

try to find the 28.32 driver not the 29.42..heard its better

oh one last thing make sure in your network games screen (where you refrest the list of the servers..), check "LAN or TI" for your connection type.
