lol well that was college days when we were still on amd k6's i sit corrected. though i agree it really doesnt matter that much

yeah try completely uninstalling your ati drivers. as i remember there is a downloadable driver uninstaller that works with ati and nvidia driver. Try this link hopw it helps http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=33738545&page=1 to completely remove the ati drivers. in addition try...

its advisable to use half of your existing vid card ie 256mb vid card set your aperture to 128 and so forth

Oh yes and one advice from an AMD fan to the next. If you can, get an oversized heatsink fan get one from cooler masters or zalmans heating has been an issue but this can easily resolve it.

Well Intel concentrated on speed but lacked features one big thing is direct 3d which AMD has so no need for a high end vid card to run civ. And its true AMD kicks pentium ass any day of the week hahaha

3.2 pentium processor?

The Direct2Drive version is working fine for me. I had some problems with patching to 1.52 but i found the solution and posted it on the forums. It just comes in one big .exe file so little room for error. The one on the website is for v1.9 so patching to 1.52 will be silch for ya.

Correct again well basically Semprons were made for overclocking well mainly because they come cheaper than the athlons but dont get me wrong athlon and semprons are really both stable even when overclocked. I have been in some forums where they can run up to 50% Overclock on their sempies. Me...

Main problem I see here most of y'all are using Pentium processors. Im sorry if I sound biased being an AMD guy for so long already. I agree if you do decide to run the game with a Pentium better get a mid to high range video card. The problem I see with intel is they went more on speed rather...

Well if you do intend to go with a PSU upgrade also why not get 450 to 500w besides it would be nice to invest on PSU's as you can move them from one system to another. I got a 500W XConnect PSU and i think its handling the PC quite fine.

looks good man and you are right sempron have lower L2 cache than the athlon series. The only thing I really see that might cause problems is the vid card but hey i did see that the 9250 worked fine in the game so it shouldnt be much of a worry. Mine works okay heres my specs and you have a...

misconception with the amd naming convention athlon 1600+ only run at 1.2 or 1.3 GHZ stock.

it would be good if you put in the specs of your system so that we can try to see what hardware is causing the error. I must agree that the game is a resource hog video to be exact. But I had no problem running v1.0 of civ. the only problem i get is when closing the game. it takes so much time...

i was looking for the thread i started before about patching the d2d version of the game but could not find it. My problem was it was my first time to patch civ and it was for v1.52. I got the error that it cannot run because i had 1.0.00. Well I finally found the fix hope this helps anyone...

tried it same thing. I even tried to remove the registry entries for the game and I still get the same error. other methods i can try?
