You might as well; it probably doesn't do anything. :D

Found a suggestion that this POWERCOLOR R92U-LD3 Radeon 9250 256MB low profile might work; or possibly set fire to the machine; :mischief: it runs very hot. see this Dell community forum thread with links to suppliers. I have not tried one yet. You dont fancy taking a chance on your machine...

Hi omnimystic Fraid not so far; but not had time to look into it any further. Suggestions on here not very constructive so far I see. ;) Will post here If I get a result. There is a lot of stuff on the Dell Community forum about video cards for these models; again not really had time to...

Looks like patches or no I may have to dump the Intel 82865G extreme graphics card I have to get this game working well. (obviously not extreme enough for Civ4). Any one else looked into cards for the Dell Optiplex GX270. I presume it needs a low profile card. I have found the following...

I missed that; must go and join in. :D

Does anyone know which effects do not work as a result of not having TnL support. It is obviously not the rendering of terrain as my Video card (Intel 82865G) does not support T/L but terrain is rendered fine in world builder and indeed in Game Play eventually. Terrain just does not appear...

I am also very confused. I have an Intel 82865G which appears not to support TL. I get the chesire cat effect but I can see some terrain. Most of the terrain is black regardless of having been explored, however I can see terrain round the edge of the screen. (and in world builder mode). I...

Actually old chaps; The British marine is of course as good as a US one any day. However our UU (or the english one in fact as there is a difference) should either be the Convict with which we colonised one of the largest countries in the world (Australia) or the Drug Dealer with which we...

Hi Nellorna; I assume the point is that war weariness is greater when you declare war. Using a spy will sometimes result in a war; assuming you have spying potential. However I always thought (probably wrongly) that a war declared in response to a spying attempt was blamed on the spying civ...

Thats right; I can eliminate the vikings, which will not be difficult I have already taken about half their territory with little resistance in a recent war. However even then I may not have twice the culture of the Zulus. Quickest victory is domination I think. I have 75% pop already and 63%...

Cultural now looks the least likely option and I was worrying about triggering it. Will either go for spaceship or Domination; the second would be quickest as the AI have nothing much better than TOW to defend themselves and I have a pile of captured infantry and lots of MA. May just leave...

Nothing like; the Vikings are close with just short of 160000; I attacked them recently to stop them getting Cultural Victory first. I am way ahead in everything else but only just ahead in culture. I presume your saying that 160000 plus twice nearest opponent is also the requirement? Its not...

I’m posting on this forum because I know there are some experts on what exactly triggers victory on this forum. I have a problem; I have a diety game on a huge map. I am France and its 1918; my score is 10268 and my culture score is 163.066. It is this that has me confused. I assumed I would...

Me too; I get to the train station to go into London and say 'what do you need for right of passage' at the ticket office; no maybe that was a dream; I hope so.
