High resolution in Civ3?

[ancient]

Geforce 3 is designed to work wirth Directx 8...

I should point out that my computer is only two months old and is running win2000. My directx8 experience with earlier versions of windows is limited (but still no problems in 95+98)

For the record, I have a 32 Mb GeForce2

Sabre, I have 32mg GeForce - but I don't know if it is 1 or 2. My desktop computer is a Dell 700mhz that I got in Feb. 2000.

It ought to run Civ3 ok, but I really don't like having to put directx8 on it until I know more.

Well providing you have a reasonably recent card, the most you will probably need is a new set of drivers for your card and DX8 itself, which will come on the Civ3 CD anyway...I would expect any card from recent history to support the DirectDraw features for DX8, and the DirectSound stuff goes without saying. Those things can run with soundcards as old as the dinosaurs...
