Not really... you should be getting somewhere around that with the setup
you've listed below:

That's definitely not normal for a computer with that CPU, video card, and
amount of RAM.  And you're not low on RAM, 64 is still quite a bit to most
people.

Chances are that your drivers aren't installed properly or something if the
3dfxGL mode in Quake2 isn't working.  Or maybe there's some sort of
incompatibility with the version # of Quake2 you're running and your Voodoo3
card.  Do you have version 3.20?

Um, how old are your drivers?  It's always best to have the absolute latest
drivers for all of your hardware.
