What kind of CPU and memory do you have? This looks like a game that's guaranteed to eat through a gig of memory like it's nothing.

*** CIV 4 TRIP REPORT ***

...I need a new video card.

Sure sounds great, though.

Also, one of the manual add-ons came in French.

Paging mslif, please come to the white courtesy phone.

What do you need?

2.0 gig Sempron. 712 meg of RAM. Everything seems fine except for the paper clip I use as a video card.

Nothing, really. Phrases like "arbre des technologies" and "+10% en Puissance" aren't enough to tax even my limited vocabulary. Your rapid response is appreciated, though. I think you've got a future in our organization. + mslif sightings = never bad.

Laptop specs. If you can add in more memory, I bet you'll get a whole lot of mileage out of it.

Civ games are memory hogs. You will want at least a gig of memory, or you will have lots of slowdowns panning across the screen, and at other times too.

Civ 3 was the ultimate in mental masturbation. Civ 4 would make me go blind. Good thing my computer can't run it. I may have to buy a new one.

So I should go buy another 512MB of memory? What's that like $80? Is my video card good enough? My comp isn't really intended for gaming, but I bought it before I knew Civ IV was coming out.
