[NinjaCool]

I am buying my first DOS computer after twenty years of Macintoshiing.

Will this machine kick ass running Civ IV? Be honest. Your word will be my bond.

Dell Latitude D810
Pentium M 740 1,73 GHz w/ ATI Radeon X600 128MB

Thanks

Does anyone know if a GeForce 3 ti200 (64 meg) will pass muster for this game (i.e., does it have T&L capabilities)?

I know the game will run on my laptop (1.6Ghz, 512 RAM, Mobility RADEON 9000), but I have no internet in my apartment at the moment to check my desktop. (Other requirements are comfortably satisfied-- 2 Ghz, 512 RAM.)

Frankly, I'm kind of amazed this graphics card has lasted me this long. I was the weakest part of the system when I bought it; there just haven't been any graphics-intense games that've interested me in the past couple of years.

Though it is an older card, it does have an earlier version of Hardware T&L. It might be ok...I'm not that familiar with nVidia cards though, so not sure how well it would preform. With 64mb it won't be anything great.

Should run it on full detail just fine. Though you didn't mention how much ram you have, I'd assume atleast 512mb, probably 1gb right?

 

[Schisgall]

its 1.0 GB 533 Mhz DDRII SDRAM, 2 DIMMS-Dual channel. Good enough? I like speed....

Thanks Moosebox! I don't need pretty-- I'm just hoping for stable and not ridiculously slow.

Windows XP isn't based on DOS but it can emulate it, albeit not perfectly. DOS is 16bit, XP is 32bit from the ground up you'll be glad to know.

The first card to feature hardware transform and lighting was the Original Geforce card (both the SDR and DDR versions). For what it's worth the Geforce3 Ti series is still not a bad series at all, and was the first to feature dedicated pixel and vertex shaders if I remember correctly (together with the later top of the line Geforce2's).

Yeah i wouldn't worry mate, your system should be more than fine.

YAY This is a really spiffy peice of kit. I get full bars on everything besides Ram in the recommended specs. "Recommended: 512 MB
You Have: 511.5 MB" And that's still a pass, I don't think I'll lose any sleep over that I really do feel sorry for people who won't be able to run it. Before I upgraded my graphic card up to a 256 I couldn't play Empire Earth 2 which was relaly depressing.

Yep - I think my new DFI Lan Party NF4 Ultra SlI-DR, Athlon X2 4400, 7800GT, and 2x WD Raptor drives in RAID0 will run it just fine!

sorry - couldn't help myself.
