    DirectX 8.0a or 7?

    From Infogrames US

    * Pentium 300 mhz
    * 32 megs or ram
    * 100 megs of hard drive space (+50 for swapfile)
    * 4X CD-Rom
    * DirectX 7 compatible video card (must be able to display 1024x768x16bit)
    * DirectX 7 compatible sound card
    * Windows 95/98/ME/2000
    Just when you thought the system requirements debate was over, I just found this titbit. For those of us with slower/older systems the reduction from DirectX8.0a to 7 would be most welcome. But is it true?

    Yet another example of poor communication between Firaxis and Infogrames.

    Firaxis's site still says Directx 8a. I'd be more inclined to believe them.

      Infogames site is older (100 MB).
      But DirectX isn't hard to get the right version.

        DIrX8 will be provided on the Civ3 CD, so, no, quite easy indeed

          Shouldn't that be Pentium II 300MHz?

            According to Firaxis's site, yes.
