1. Check you are using 16bit Desktop before starting Q2

2. Set CPU up at 3.5 x 100 and 2.3v..350 makes a big diff with the k6-2.

3. Add another 64mb of ram.  40 US dollars or so nowadays..

I believe Suleyman is correct. Is Vsync disabled? If not, do so and your
problems will most likely be over.

don't overclock your cpu. if it's a 300, run it at 300 unless you are positive
you know what you are doing.

download the new SBLIVE drivers, they make a large difference believe it or
not.
Creative is the driver King.
set your hard drive cache to min 4 mb max 4mb, set your swap file to 200 mb
min and max.

turn everything else off while you're playing.
if that doesn't work, buy more ram and a faster cpu

Try disabling Vsynch. Some V3 overclocking programs do it. Visit
www.voodoo3.net and check the resources there.

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.

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.

Install mingl v1.48 and _choose_ 3dfx opengl in Quake2 and enjoy :).
