Here you go.
On a P4 3.0 w/2gigs of memory (matched) on an ASUS P4P800 Deluxe motherboard, with an ATI RADEON 9600XT video card with Catalyst version 5-11_xp-2k_dd_ccc_wdm_enu_27345 drivers and all the latest firmware updates for my motherboard, audio, etc. This is my Rendering Computer for 3D Studio Max Projects.
I formatted the 200 gig 7200 rpm Western Digital hard drive, Reinstalled Windows XP Pro with all the updated drivers, and installed Civ4 and the patch and set up a 4 gig swap file. Over clocked CPU over clocked Video (was working fine with MAX.) Played the game on custom huge map with 6 continents game ran ok but was not a speed demon, until I got the world map took 20 min. for the next turn after spending 20 min. during my turn. Game lasted about another 20 turns although the computers turns went from 1.5 min. to about 3 min. Then it crashed out. Shut down completely and restarted. Tried to load the last saved game and after 30 min. it locks up with a black screen. If I moved the mouse it makes rainbow lines appear randomly. When I Ctrl+Alt+Del I get an ATI driver error and drops down to 8 colors. So all in all I am not happy. If I set the Video elements of the game to low the game will not even start. So now I am really not happy. This is even after deleting everything in the cache. So this is the last game I plan on getting ever and this is from some one who still has his old Commodore 64 and 128 pack up in the bottom of the closet along with an 8088, 286, 386, 486, PI, PII, PIII, and the 4000 plus games that go with them. So if you want any more information you have until Friday after 5:00 PM EST to ask me for it. As of then I reformat the drive and reattach my 3D Studio Max Drive so I can go back making money.
Thanks so much for finally putting me off computer games. I will just go back to the PNP table games.
If they every get this thing working I might try it again but for now I will not be back, Good luck with the game.
