A 32 mb video card is recommended by Blizzard for Warcraft 3 but I read a post on another list that said that's really not adequate - he recommended a 64 mb card. I just installed a Voodoo 5 card (64 mb) in my Beige G3 for that reason, but havent gotten a copy of W3 yet. The Voodoo5 has open GL, Rave and GlideLib extensions. I'll let you know how it works when I get W3. I previously replaced the 266 processor ZIF with a 400 mhz G3 overclocked to 433, so that is slower than the 600 mhz recommended speed so we shall see- hope I dont have to get a faster one cause they are pricey above this speed. Have 256 mb ram, so ok there I think. NickUtah
