It's all a matter of taste. If 20-30 FPS is good enough for you, then 
fine.  Some people simply like a faster game, and are realistic enough to 
 know that computers are not fast enough to run SVGA 3D games without 
slowdown, at an awesome framerate.  The video card should not make a huge 
difference - not as huge as you are implying.  Unless the guy has an old 
Diamond Speedstar 1 meg ISA card plugged into his PPRO.  Maybe he has an 
older, slower PRO.  So what? The games still aren't fast enough for us.  
Deal with it, peace!
