I'll be hard to stay below that, so where do I pick up my consolation prize?


Hehe I have exactly the same system at home too
CtP1 ran okay on it. But it was better to play the smaller maps and only with 8 civs. Else you could forget it in later stages of the game.

Currently P2 450 128 RAM.

Planning on getting something ~1Ghz early next year with 256+ RAM. Maybe P3 since they just lowered the prices on them, including the 1G.

Full PM-box? Change here!

The computer I'll be getting is a Compaq with a Celeron 500 MHz, 64 meg ram, 10 Gig hard drive. But more importantly it will have a DSL modem. In a way DSL won't cost us much, because it should save us a lot on long distance. $59.95 a month for two years, including a new computer, compared to the $15.00 a month we're spending now for internet service and the $30 a month we'll save on long distance? not a bad deal at all.

I'm actually compforting myself cause the thing is only upgradable to 800 MHz without replacing the Mother Board. I'd best at least be able to replace the Mother Board, or I'll be an upset individual.

I've got a 400Mhz Celeron, 64MB Ram. Can't remember what video card, though.

Hope this is good enough...it's just a year old. I'm not likely to upgrade it soon.

Other than Graphics or Games related, is there ever any reason to upgrade? The old Celeron 333 I have in the corner runs Microsoft Word just as well as my new Athlon 1100.

A new-ish Celeron 500 w/128M RAM, bought low end 'cos it's cheap, I could go twice as fast at four times the price, but I can pick that up next year for $500.

More money for beer...

and personally I cant tell the difference between 2 pico-seconds and 4!

I think I'm joining Locutus and MKL at the very bottom end here:

IBM ThinkPad 770 (am I the only one playing this one a laptop?)
Pentium 200 MMX
64MB
13.3 XGA TFT
some 4MB 3d video chip
But with a whopping 18GB total HDD space (without battery)

Unfortunately it will be another full year before it gets replaced.

Best thing about it: it's free!!! My boss expects me to work on this thing

Increase Your PM Length

just upgraded to a p3 933 with 256.
a dvd drive
a cd writeable
an omega zip drive
40gig
Didn't replace the printer or monitor, so it only cost 1,500.

My old one was a 233 with 64.
Can't believe just how much difference it make.
I used to walk away from the machine in between turns(later in the game), go outside have a smoke, come back and just catch the end of the turn change. Now it takes less than 8 seconds. Knew it would be faster, but not this much.

Combined with a cable modem has also sped up our civII mp games.

I first tried playing on my PC which I will take lowest spot with:
P166!!!
96mbRAM (oold RAM)(upgraded from 64 for CTP2)
8mb Sparkle GCard (got for Falcon4)
uhgh! yuck at the start it wasn't too bad but later it took about two minutes a turn on gigantic map 8 players around 1750.I then gave up.

and installed on my fathers company Laptop
Dell Latitude CPx
pIII800
256mbRAM
32mbGCard

very happy results although a bit slow with 32 civs on a gigantic map later on in the game.
