Minimum system specs your playing on. Suffering from ads?

Who is playing civ3 on the crappiest computer. I'm just interested if anyone is playing on a computer worse than minimum requirements.

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

266 Mhz interlaced system
32 Meg RAM
4 MB video card

Mind you, I am playing without any music, not much animations, and I haven't gotten past the late middle ages yet - although it seems to get a bit sluggish at that point.

Thank goodness I am getting a new computer soon

I think I have the crappiest computer that actually runs civ3 Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

This are my computer specs

233 mhz Pentium II
64 mb RAM
2 mb video card

after installing CIV3, my c: drive has only 250+ mb free..

The game is more or less playable until Industrial age, 5 civs, large map.. with sounds off, because if I turn them on after a while a receive an error and the game shuts down ..(the error it´s because insufficient disk space, actually the game "eats" my hard drive space, i have to reboot to regain it again)

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

P2 400 MHz
64 MB RAM
1.5 GB HD (2 GB, but after a power surge I've now had to write off half a gig in bad sectors)

It's generally fine, except that it slows down immeasurably in the industrial era.

Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

further to my last....

(P-I PC)
I am only playing on a small map and haven't got to modern ages yet.
I am sure it would not work on a large map with many cities.
