Can't say I have really noticed a difference between win servers and linux servers.
Haven't really played CS with D3d since its running on an engine which was created originally for openGL I have always used that. I will give it a try later on tonight and get back to you.
Athough *smug voice engaged* I will have to stick in an old video card to get low fps or switch it to software mode as my new GF3 doesnt run slowly no matter what I do 
I have always found openGL to run smoother out of the two. I think generally though that high ping doesn't help this game in any aspect or any other game come to think of it.
