CivIII runs pretty well when you have 1GB of RAM...
Got 384 at work, on a 1.7gig P4.
Got 256 at home, on a 850mhz Athalon. I was running 192, but burnt out one of my memory slots trying to upgrade it.
But I was able to upgrade it to 256.
My next machine, which I will be buying in the fall, thanks to grants/student loans, will probably hvae 764. It'll come with 256, and I plan to drop a half-gig stick into it. That should do me, for now.

Finally upgraded my PC. I always thought I had a PII 500 MHz until I recently checked and it turned out I have a Celeron 433 MHz. 
I had always wondered why it said Celeron on the case of my PC instead of Pentium.
Anyway, I had 64 Mb of RAM but 10 minutes ago I added 128 to obtain the grand total of 192 Mb PC-100.
So I'm just checking out how bloody fast it is now. [dance]

512MB of PC3200 DDR Ram. My mobo can support 3GB of PC2700 and under or 2GB of PC3200.

!?!?! SD is Single data rate, yet it is Double Data Rate at the same time?
Anyhoo i have 512 Mb RAM

512MB DDR here as well. Only temporary mind you. I'm going to add a little more in a few months, bringing it up to an even Gig.

Hmm... I have a 128, a 64 and a 16 - and 2 machines (one is a spare).
So I guess 192 is what I mainly use - Civ doesn't like me running with 128, a big map and 15 opponents.

256 MB.
I had 128 MB in the one that my dad bought me (128!
) so we went out to Best Buy and bought a 128 MB extention.

512 MegaByte DoubleDataRate SynchronousDynamicRandomAccessMemory
RAM is just the common acronomy of all read/write memory
Before we had SDRAM, most PCs used EDO-RAM (ExtendedDataOutput) and other types before that. The correct acronym for SingleDataRate RAM would be nowadays: SDR SDRAM
EDO-RAM type memory started with the advance of the late 486s and the first Pentium computers, SDRAM took over as the clock speed increased even more.
Synchronous because the RAM is optimized to run with the same external clock the CPU uses. That´s why for example a DDR 333 memory chip runs much better with a CPU using 166MHz external clock (DDR=x2 -> 166x2=333) than an older model using only 133MHz.
