I'll be buying it a few days late. I figure it'll give y'all a few days to practice-up prior to my PBEM cav onslaughts

Unless it has a program to detect a min 64Mb card (and there'll probably be a workaround) it'll probably play on lesser cards anyway. I've seen plenty of posts where people were playing way more graphically intense games on PC's from the stone ages.

Yeah I know, but for once I hoped to play a game with the video features all working. I'll just have to put the video settings on lower settings (again ).

Most definately. You might lose some of the "flavor" in terms of graphics and/or performance but the game would likely still be playable with a 32 or even a 16MB graphics adapter.

I wonder if this will change, considering it's
4 days too soon... I hope not...

Meanwhile Amazon US has it for the 24th.

24th would be correct... story said it went gold on the 19th. I've noticed it usually takes at least 5 days to get into stores... 5 days for the big games

Too bad that doesn't apply to all games. The Movies went gold a week before Civ IV, but it wont hit the stores before next month

They should have released it before Civ IV, how am I going to have enough time for both games

Easy, switch to a dolphin brain and the whole problem is solved.
