Map poly count: optimal limits?

[elroy]

I've searched all over for the answer to these questions, but haven't found an answer:

How do you (what console command?) use to display the current poly count/frame rate in game?

And what kind of poly count is deemed 'acceptable' in a HL2M or CS:S map?

Thanks
