Right now I am running with these system specs, and I am getting 5 minute turn times from the outset with the 1860AD Giant Earth map mod scenario.
AMD Sempron(tm) processor 2.21 GHz and 1.87 GB of RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 6100 nForce 405 graphics card.
I found this crappy $400 compaq computer with Windows 7 64 bit home premium edition, with these system specs...
AMD Athlon II 215 Dual-Core Processor 3 GB of RAM with a measly 6150 SE integrated graphics card according to a review. Basicially the customer review says this is not a good gaming computer.
But Civ 4 is an older game, and what I want to know is, would this be a decent upgrade to play civ a little faster. I don't want to spend alot of money just to play civ. Basically I just want to get a bit faster turn times, is this new computer better than my old one, and how much would it enhance gameplay performance?
Also with this Windows 7 is it compatible with Civ 4 BTS, because I have heard that BTS locks up after so many turns. I hear you have to run the app in windows xp mode, is this correct? Any information would be helpful about anything from windows 7 to game performance, or any other advice would be helpful. thanks
I tried to talk to the tech guys and I get no answer does someone who plays the mod know?
