I forgot to add that I have set virtual memory to 1 GB (sic)!

Same thing here, my (64mb) game's slows to an unplayable crawl with music. Once I turn that off, no problem. Even unit animations don't cause any trouble. Game loads take a minute or two, but I can't complain that much as I know I'm on the bottom of the barrel hardware wise. I just wish that naval ships weren't twice the decibel level of every other unit in the game, it's really obnoxious.Originally posted by Patricio
I have 64 MB RAM, and when I started playing the game, it worked fine initially. However, as the game continued, the performance started to go down, and eventually crashed.
I turned the music off, and it started to work fine again. So if this slowness occurs, try this to save RAM. 
Does anyone else know other ways to save RAM?
Best thing to do...kill the game music. Even opening up the sound options menu takes forever with me. Must be some memory issues going on with the sound system if opening up a few volume sliders takes almost as long a game load.Comment

I am pretty sure there is some kind of memory leak...
I am never able to start civ3 more than two or three times, before I ave to restart my computer.
Programs like "CleanMyMemory" has no effect.
Also, after playing for a while (mostly when I have started the game a couple of times since last reboot) I get a low (virtual) memory warning, and everything slows down.
I am running the game on a 700 - 256, so there should be no problem...Comment

I gave up on the music the third time it decided to play the same 10 sec sequence for 10 mins.....
Civ3 might not be broken but the music surely is :P
