    I have the most experience in the past with Intel, and found it reliable. Dual or Quad, I can go either way. Of course a Quad I would prefer for the better performance.

    There will be mech units.

    MOD Idea, Warhammer 40K

    Anyone thought of this yet? I am sure some of you have seen the Warhammer 40K universe either through books, the tabletop game, or Dawn of War. It would be a crazy and neat idea if it was possible to make a modded game of Civ to do this with.

    Initialize Renderer failed / Windows 7

    No, I just went into the options in the game and unchecked the "Fullscreen" option. Always worked till last night. I was like? WTH. Tried about 80 times. I think the normal game, and Warlords both would work fine though. Something about BTS. Is there a way to force it?

Other than that it works fine except for maybe some odd collors while it first starts. But I have a...

    How often do you play a game of civ.

    Since I am new I have done 2 games last week, and plan to do 2 this week. Usually take turns while it is in window mode while playing Prototype or on a forum or watching tv.
