DUH! - Your playing online dufy...course it'll lag, espectially if you and/or the host isnt on dsl/cable...WC3 lags bad naturally when put with WINXP anyways...Try lowering the res in the game.

You mean it wasn't the patch right? If he has the same problem after doing that, then it can't something specific to your computer.
Upgrade the drivers for your video card, and shut down background tasks if possible, and hope you aren't on a modem, because modems and battle.net don't always get along.

of any hardware its your RAM....wc3 needs tons of it(256MB++).

He has 256, granted more would help some, but I don't know if thats the main problem. If it was XP instead of 2k I think it would be more of a problem.
