I run in it OpenGL in a window under 640 x 480, works perfectly fine for me. my fps is 72.0 lolz

He is talking about CS:S, which has no option for OpenGL. All D3D baby.
(my fps in CS1.6 reaches over 500 at times in 1024x768 fullscreen. pwnt[:@])
Your problem is mainly your CPU. Intel Celeron Processors were not designed for Gaming Applications. I would go for a Core2 Duo if it is a socket 775 Motherboard, if it is good ol' 478, go for maybe a 3.2GHz (or a 2.4C if you are short on cash)
Another part of the problem
might lie with your Video Card. Though X1600 is not a terrible chipset, it is not the best. X1600's only have 4 Pixel Pipes (Advertised as 12 by some brands. It is actually three Vertex Units with Four pipelines each, or something like that. Only processes 4 Pixels per clock). Also the memory, though plentiful, is only 128Bit DDR2. This memory lacks bandwidth compared to 256, and now 384 bit memory in the newer Video Cards. If it is a PCI-Express card you should be a little better off, but X1600's were not designed to give uber-framerates.
I had an AGP X1600Pro AGP card for a while, using it with my Pentium 4 3.0GHz CPU, it have me about 40FPS in stock video settings.
I would get a real processor first. Even newer Celeron D's lack the punch most games demand. I mentioned Pentium 42.4C above, which is (one of) the Pentium version of the chip you likely have now. The 2.4C has been a well known overclock-friendly chip, so if you are strapped for cash, you will likely be able to find one of these for about 60 bucks, and overclock it easily to 2.6/2.8/3.0GHz. This would be a nice cheap, though slightly risky solution.
Other than buying new hardware, the best thing to go is update your drivers for everything (mainly video), defrag your harddrive, run some virus/spyware scans, and all that fun stuff.
