What would be optimal for running a 362x362 32 civ game? A 5GHz CPU with 1GB RAM?

"And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man." -- JFK Inaugural, 1961
"Extremism in the defense of liberty is not a vice." -- Barry Goldwater, 1964 GOP Nomination acceptance speech (not George W. Bush 40 years later...)

I was aware that you were joking, however MrWhereItsAt did not seem to be aware of the typo. I just wanted you joke to be correctly understood.Originally posted by Sir Ralph
Of course I knew it's a typo. Just wanted to tease Dissident.
* A true libertarian is an anarchist in denial.
* If brute force isn't working you are not using enough.
* The difference between Genius and stupidity is that Genius has a limit.
* There are Lies, Damned Lies, and The Republican Party.Comment

Don't worry about zclient, it is not taking cycles to any extent. Even when you are connected to the net.
I play on XP with it all the time. I normally do not have a lot of other things going, but if you look at the monitor things like excel/notepad and such are not doing anything while you are playing.
It is as Sir Ralph said, as long as you have at least as much as the app uses, more will do little. The bottleneck is the CPU, except when saving or loading the game.Comment

Once you have enough memory for the max that the process will use it really can't use more memory.Comment

Actually, if you do have enough RAM set your virtual memory to zero, windows is kinda lazy and likes to use your hard-drive even if it doesn't have to.
To put things into perspective and into more human terms.
If it takes your comp 3 minutes to get data from your (physical) memory, then it would take 4 MONTHS to retrieve it from your hard-drive(virtual memory)

Ohh and Diss, about the colour thing, a good idea when using that many civ's is to use the 'colour blind(?)' option. it will put the name of the civ on screen.
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - EpicurusComment
