I've got a 950mhz processor, 384 meg ram and a 128 meg radeon vid card...
yet I have played games 'requiring' 1.4ghz and 512 meg ram reasonably well, with some graphics options turned down.
I think a lot of people who have posted here are worried about nothing, the game should run for pretty much all of you, a bit slowly perhaps, but if you have a low-end pc like me, you are used to that already.

Mine said the same too.superslug said:
I might just get a new CPU (Pentium III) and 512MB Ram and 256mb video card like radeon or something, and just stick my old HD/CD/DVD-ROM back in.
It's worth it 
(Then again, already running an SLI 7800GT + 3800X2
But seriously, this is the one game that I have been looking forward too. Cid has always had a place with me.. which is why I use VirtualPC in part just to play Alpha Centauri (another game I wish he'd sequel)

@Home in the NL - a cable ISP. Unfortunately since it's started to offer VoIP too most of my job consists of dispatching problems to our tech support and telling people that second-tier support is on it...

Ah, much the same with our DSL service. Quite frustrating to troubleshoot when in the end you find out their telephone wiring isn't adequate for DSL in the first place.
Ah yes, sorry about the off topic

New CPU (PIII) ? I hope not, unless you are looking at upgrading your existing socket type with a faster PIII. Also don't get hung up on the mb of a video card. They are not the end all in determining speed. Pick a good chipset first (Geforce 6600 for instance) then find out price difference in memory. If you can get a 256 at a good price, go for it, otherwise pick the better chipset.
A good barbones upgrade would be a socket 939 (Athlon) or LGA775 (P4) board (try to get one with PCI-Express), then purchase a Athlon or Pentium 4 to go with it. Get 512 to a gig of RAM, then a good PCI-E video card (like the Geforce 6600).
Also make sure your power supply will have enough wattage to handle the new processor etc. Go to this link, http://www.jscustompcs.com/power_supply/
to calculate your needs.
hm, the site which analysed the specs gave the result that my pc passes in all fields, and all of the bars were coloured apart for the bars which were about Ram, where the last one wasnt coloured. So it should run without any real problem

Hi everybody !10Seven said:I'm pretty sure you can play Civ3 on Linux - at the very least through an emulator - however, due to that, speed will become even more of an issue.
From the sounds of things, Civ4 will port easier to Linux
Civ3 runs great on Linux through cedega (wineX) with not much performance loss
However, Civ4 is quite an issue since I haven't succeed in making it runs in spite of my efforts
I tried of course cvs-cedega but not even the installer could be launch. So I tried the last version of Wine (0.9) which gave me a short hope since it managed to install Civ4.... but not to run it
(i solved the missing dll problem but the game crashes immediatly after its launch).Because i'm a bit addicted
D) i decided to go through Qemu and vmware but they both failed (hardware acceleration isn't supported since the emulation of the video driver is software and the vmware's experimental support of D3D is ... very experimental 
)So i was wondering if anyone managed to make Civ4 running on Linux and how he did
I hope it will at least work with cedega soon but a native port (perhaps with Loki or Icculus participation) will be much better.
By the way, do you know where i can ask this kind of stuff ?
P.S: I hope my english isn't too bad
I'm going to have to point this out to Urederra Celerons are Jokes for games. Why Intel and duron or smithfire are Regular Intel or Amd cpu with the Onboard Cache is cut in half. Which is way slower. So if you have a celeron 3.0ghz your cache is 256k vers 512k Amd dose the same thing with there low end system.
Here what I m running now. Amd 64 3000+ with 2gb of ram dual 80gb hard dual 200 gb hard drives and 1 160gb hard drives. Total of 720 gb of hard drive space. Radeon 9700 256 mb Pci 8x I built this system from my own two hands and it runs 100% creative labs 7.1 surround sound. Best idea is buy a how to book and build useing used parts.
Places like price watch or something u can get part really cheap.
I got my Laptop P4 3.4ee L3 2mb cache 1gb ram dual 80gb hard drive radeon 9700 256 mb of ram $3000
