Graphics card/driverFollow

I seriously have no idea if this forum is applicable toward a game I'm having trouble with. CounterStrike. Oh well, here goes, maybe I'll get lucky with someone with CounterStrike + graphics card smarts.

My graphics card is a NVidia GeForce MX 4000: 128 MB DDR PCI. That's what it says on the box. I expect that a video card like this would be able to run CS in OpenGL video mode perfectly fine. It doesn't. That piece of crap resists me whenever I try something. I installed the latest drivers, fiddled with the graphics card controls, but this little SOB won't work. The OpenGL mode is glitchy and laggy, and my FPS is a mere 5-8 per second. Horrible. It's not my internet connection, I have cable. It's not my computer (I think), it's fairly new. Is it my RAM, or my card, or CS itself? If you have any suggestions about tweaking, or drivers, DirectX, or CS commands, or... things, just tell me PLEASE. OpenGL looks like a god compared to crappy Software or D3D. Help me out!

P.S. Sorry for asking about CS in this forum. Those bastards at other CS forums simply ignore me. I have no idea CS here is a mortal sin here, just be merciful and help out. I'm pretty sure that there are some CS players here.

THANK YOU.

edit: By the way, I kinda suck at this technical stuff. I might need some specific directions.

Gah, another thing I forgot: my computer specs.

Sony Vaio
Windows XP Home
Pentium 4: 2.66 GHz
248 MB of RAM
120 GB Hardrive

You already know my video card specs. Ask me for anything thing else that might help.

Ah, it's CS 1.6.

And I've just picked up the box again and looked at the back. The only mention of OpenGL i can see is a bullet point that says:
Optimized DirectX 8.1 and OpenGL 1.3 Acceleration. Are those things I should download or whatnot?

In fact, I'll just type out all of the bullet points. Here goes:

e-GeForce4 MX 4000 Includes:
NVIDIA nView Multi-display Technology
NVIDIA Accuview Antialiasing
NVIDIA Lightspeed Memory Architecture (LMA II)
NVIDIA Video Processing Engine (VPE)
NVIDIA Unified Driver Architecture(UDA)
NVIDIA Shading Rasterizer (NSR)
Integrated Dual 350MHz RAMDACs
True-color Hardware Cursor
32-Bit Color with Z/Stencil Buffer
High Performance 2D Rendering Engine
Integrated TV Encoder (1024x768 max resolution)
Microsoft DirectX and S3TC Texture Compression
Optimized DirectX 8.1 and OpenGL 1.3 Acceleration

Thats about it. My old computer, a piece of junk, ran OpenGL with a crappier video card than this, and my friend, with his 64MB video card can run OpenGL.

Think this will help?
