frankophile said:I have been looking at the Radeon 9250 and now that you have advised me that it will work with Civ IV I will probably buy it. Can you tell me a little more about the driver problems you had?
Also, an upgrade to 1 GB RAM is in the cards but not immediately.
Well, it worked on my machine...but can't guarantee it will work on yours. Keep the receipt if you buy it.
ATI drivers are notoriously bad...at least thats what i've experienced and heard from friends. I downloaded their newest Radeon 9250 drivers with CCC from ati.com and gave it a shot. It actually worked until the turn that i was going to beat the game. Every time on the victory screen turn, the game would crash to the desktop. I figured it had to do with some sort of graphics problem so I downloaded the Omega Radeon drivers, reinstalled Civ 4, and its worked perfectly since then.
Hope that helps, good luck.
