      my first civ2 experience was on a powermac 75mhz 16mb ram, and now i run civ2 on a 486 at a blazing speed of 66mhz, ram is pretty decent though at 74 MB.

            I've always used my Compaq crash-o-matic: Pentium 166 MHz, 4 Gig HD. It's gotten better, thankfully, as long as I'm careful . . .

              I'm surprised to see a 386 on the list because the CIV II manual says a 486 is required. Not only that but a few people voted for the 386. I guess the manual is wrong?

                  Mine was a 1994 pentium Packard Bell with 8Mb of RAM, 44MHz CPU, and a 800Mb hard drive. Currently I have a 2000 AMD k6 Nobilis with 128Mb of RAM, 650MHz CPU, and 20Gb hard drive

                    Civ I on an 8086 with external HD (10 megs). Civ II on a 386/16 with small HD (1.2 gig?). Had to buy a cd-rom for that rig just to play. Both were below minimum manual-stated requirements; both handled their version of Civ quite well, although Savegames had to be handled to keep disk-space open. Sid has always been a very friendly designer in terms of machine capability. It's not the graphics that matter, its the game! Note: the 386 would not handle diplomacy screens and Wonder movies, but both can be turned off.

                        P166 for Civ2
                        386sx (no 387 FPP, 20MHz, 4MB RAM, 80MB FDD) for Civ1

                        Civ2 came in March 1996, and Pentiums had been out for some time then. I got my P166 in october that year, and it was a pretty top-of-the-line machine at that time (32MB RAM, 1,2 GB disk). Everybody laughed at me, said that my memory purchase was overkill. Then just a few month later, P-MMX came, and I felt like I was cheated.
                        These days, my handheld outperforms my Civ1 computer, and both my laptops can run in wide rings around the Civ2 PC.
