Good news, I tried civ4 with my 4 years old machine.
here is my machine's spec
CPU: 1.2G ATHlon
RAM: 368M
Video card: Sis730, with 16M shared memory.
Free HD: 3G
O.S.: windows XP, sp2
1st, I tried tutorial and I see Sid's instroduction, but all slow. So I goto advanced, put low graphics..Try to start a new game...all seems fine, but dropped me off before enterring the new world..
Try pre-build world, earth.. I could log in, slow.. but playable.. Until I met with Ghangis Khan. The leader head in the diplomacy windows was messed up.. have to restart..meanwhile, maybe after this, I get the render error message.
Then I looked at the files sizes of the pre-build worlds. battle is smallest. But I can't enter it either. I end-up start a new game with planet... I played till 1000BC.. I was in a lonely island, and did not see anyone, but beast and barbarians.. Get my 1st great scientist... yea!!
