> will they still be unable to do proper tripple-buffering ?

No, with DirectDraw you can do proper double, tripple or whatever 
buffering with ease, at 640x480 or higher resolution (depending on how 
much ram your video card has) at very high speed. A very simple example 
supplied with DirectDraw (an asteroids type game) runs at 640x480 full 
screen at up to 80 frames per second, fully buffered, and my video card, 
although new, is certainly not a top of the range model.
