Computers are faster- you just don't have one of them. :) People with good Pentiums can play Duke at 800*600 at over 30fps, and Quake at 512*384 smoothly (more so if you have a Verite-based board). VGA does suck- may be acceptable for you, but once you get a machine where you can run SVGA smoothly it's hard to go back.
