Well, its perfectly normal to get 30-40fps if your not using your
voodoo3. You must be running in 3dfx mode.
You should see at least 60fps in 1024x768 with a voodoo3
If its not working, update your quake2 version (if you can) and get the
newest drivers and bug fixes etc.

Also if sound crackles leave it on max compatability.
