Impact on system performance

[Soneji]

So AGain go on an rock the mockathon. With your lack of evidence thats all you got. Your phyco babble speel was a good read BS, but funny how far you will go with nothing else to show in contestment of my linked refrence( nevermind to what I challenged to show if let so) . I guess we'll just see when someone soon steps to it how right you where.

I gave you evidence, as above.

I gave you evidence, as above.

Soneji you gave me one G of memory. How is this evidence? Oh you mean evidence that civ4 needs more ram then one G to play civ4 confidently with otherwise great CPU and all else invested?

Dude we already know that. Havn't you been listening?

Anyway thanks for phoning in with those specs. If you wanna sell let me know. I usually buy way below price on used but sounds like your neglecting her, so I'll come in with a fair offer if it means a real civvin computer gets a shot of meeting its potential.

Comon Soneji you got good taste, now suit it up the way she was meant to run boy!. Report back with atleast 2 G's in the stack

Hey man. Yes I guarentee another G will be all you need. Just look at Soneji. He had the greatest all around computer going into civ4 but lacked in ram, only had one gig. This made all the differnce as you can see.

Truly, the OS takes a bit, your BIOS takes a bit for your internal intergrated graphics chip. Theirs a whole lot of this type ...< Snip >... that leaves far less for civving.

Others are wrong when they say 1gig is enough for everyone . They don't have the patience for huge maps like you so will never see large stress loads when dealing with BTS late game.

If you like mods they can add even more stress on the games ram limits. Playin custum 'extra huge' and scrolling over an enemy with 1000 units, it usually means tragedy without a prior save put down.

You can avoid this for low cost so I advise you go out a gets some. Ive seen mouses that cost more then two g sticks. Can't go wrong like in some CPU's cases

I was not arguing about RAM for Civ 4, that is well known. You are completely misreading and abusing my post. What I was arguing was your crap trap about P4's being more powerful than C2D. Which I disproved, well obviously not to you it seems.

I have no other way of convincing you that you are incorrect, with regards P4 vs C2D anyway.

Your posts are of a rather confusing nature and you don't seem to follow me so I will make it simple.

My picture was to disprove that the P4 on throughput basis is faster than a Core2Duo.

My personal posturings on how CivIV has ran on my recent computers was just that; a personal comparison of how the game runs because in all honesty unless we sit with stop watches it is subjective.

I never gave 1Gb of ram as any sort of 'evidence'? What are you going on about? However, ram is only one component. The more civs you have in a game, the more processing power you need to get through it quicker, in conjunction with ram etc.

What do you mean report back with more than one G's in the stack? Is that hoodie talk for 1Gb of ram?

Well if you read my post correctly my current rig has 4Gb DDR PC 6400 with the Core2Duo.
