You gotta update man.. GeForce 6-7 series of cards don't work with Source engine games. There's a nasty workaround though, but it royally screws up the graphics.
on Windows you use Direct3D or OpenGL? I have also OpenGL 2.1 and source games don't work, but on Windows it works because it use D3D, i haven't tried GL on Windows.
The issue here is that nvidia dropped support for the nVidia 6xxx and 7xxx series before gColorMaskIndexedEXT was added to the linux proprietary driver (in 310.xx), which is used in valve's D3D to OpenGL translation layer. Source games do not have a opengl renderer on windows.
Closing per the last comment.
I have a dual boot machine with Windows 7 and Half-life2 works just fine in Windows 7.
Here are my system specs:
