Systems Civ3 runs fine on

[Jon Miller]

I can Run Civ3

and it is great

I haven't done this poorly in a long time

and the interface is no problem either

I have

Win2000
Athlon 1 Ghz
256 Mb
Radeon 32Mb DDR (why didn't I get a Geforce 2 MX, I was going to..)

and my computer has some serious problem which causes it to rerepearable crash every week (I have to reinstall my operating system)

Oh I got the LE edition

I would recommend people get the SE edition too

Yah, Geforce 2 or 3 really is the only way to go. I'm looking at getting an MSI GE2 with my next system. It's supposed to kick ass!! Unfortunately, I don't know if they sell the model I want in Canada..

Why not get the LE edition? Please explain....

fine on mine

[Steve Clark]

Yeah, can you believe someone trying to run Civ3 with a 4mb graphics card?!?!? Needless to say, dude is blaming the game.

[Hunter Hutchins]

Don't have the game yet, but...

I only have a 8MB chip. That's just the way the board was set up, SiS 630/730. So graphics were never my strong point...=)

I gave the system as much memory as it would let me, 64MB...I really don't know if the chip makes use of it, but I haven't had problems with new 3d games.

System civ3 runs fine on

running good on my machine(near min specs too)
350 K6-2
160Mb Ram
500meg swapfile
min install
16mb Voodoo Banshee(yes, an old old card)

no problems so far, little temporart glitch with sound system, but it sorted it out fine

[Sarxis]

OCed celery 566 (850)
128mb PC-100 RAM
Geforce3
Soundblaster live

The only thing that seems to be slowing me down is my HDD. My 'good' one (bleh!!!) died this weekend, so I had to go back to my old 4gigabyte drive, which, I don't have to tell you, is sooo sloooowww....

[Knight]

P-III 600
256 megs ram
GeForce 3

Smooth as silk, no crashes, no glitches. Heck, I've got it windowed right now so I can chat on aim and read this board.

[Steve Clark]

AMD Athlon 950
256mb RAM
32mb GeForce2 MX with Det 12.41
7200rpm 10gb HD

Smooth as silk, including all videos, scrolls, etc.

I can't stress enough how important it is to keep your drivers up-to-date (perhaps not with the latest and greatest but with the most stable recent ones). This not includes the obvious ones, but motherboard, miniports, bios and others as well.

I've been following the release of Civ 3 with some interest. I was going to start a new thread about my question but this seems like a perfectly good place to ask.

I was just wondering whether anybody reckons Civ 3 would work on my system:

P2 233
352 Mb RAM
Riva TNT2 m64

I know that's below the minimum system requirements but I've been able to get games like Max Payne, Giants and Deus Ex to work, which all have minimum requirements higher than my P2 233.

So what are your general impressions of how Civ 3 runs. Anybody reckon I could run it or would I just be wasting my money?

p.s. I used to post at Apolyton about 2 or 3 years ago as IG-88 if anybody remembers me. Though I wouldn't blame you if you don't 'cos I didn't post much.

[Elucidus]

Works fine here.

PIII-850
1,280MB RAM (PC-100)
32MB ATI All-in-Wonder 128
5400RPM ATA-100 HDD
Sound Blaster Live!
Win2000

[Droximus]

Not running...the screen keeps going blank after the intro movie. It's a bit disheartening.

Running a brand new computer...

1.4Ghz
512 Mg RAM
GForce video card
Windows XP

Can't seem to figure it out. But then again, my computer guru friends are unreachable at the moment.
