How slowly the game runs?

[The Negotiator]

I remember when SMAC came out. I had Celeron 433 then. I just hated it how slowly the map scrolled.

I'm beginning to fear that so is the case with civ 3.

I have:
AMD Thunderbird 928 MHz
512 MB RAM
Radeon 32 DDR
Infinite amount of hard drive space
Terrible headache because i sleeped only about an hour last night.

Does anyone who has played the game any info on this?

I havent played the game, but you'll be fine, u got almost a GHZ! and 512 MB ram.

im the one who should be concerned, i only have a pIII 450 with 320MB ram.

Posting mostly to bump this to the top again.

I have a P3-600MHz with 256RAM

I feel really sorry for you. Thank god I had money to upgrade my machine before civ 3 was released.

[Typo]

This game is going to be all about processor and RAM I pity those with lower end systems as they probably will find large maps with 16 civs impossible to play...

Then again you can turn off animations and stuff to speed it up.
