	Hmm...  I don't think a 3x speed is necessary.  I have a humble 
Panasonic CR-562B double-speed and WC3's video runs fine.

	I think the original poster's thought on upgrading the video 
card is probably a better idea--  He's got an ISA card and a local bus 
card would do a whole lot more I think.
