I get around 67 fps with a K6 2 350 and 64 megs of ram and a Voodoo 2 SLI
setup at 1024x768.  You should be getting about the same.

Make sure that you have the latest 3DNow patch for Quake 2 version 3.20 that
you can get from AMD at their web site:
http://www.amd.com/support/software.html

This patch will improve frame rates immensely.  I think that the Voodoo 3
drivers are currently tweaked for 3DNow.

Also make sure that you keep the number of programs running in the
background to the bare minimum that you need.
