	General Question for everyone.... Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

Does CTP even work on a computer with an AMD or Celeron procesor?

Just curious because after looking through most of the help section, it looks like it doesn't! And thats a shame.

Have a friend running it on a AMD 300. Not sure about celeron though.

Do seem to remember someone having problems running CTP and having to change their display color settings/size. I am running true color 24bit/1024x768 for win98, and 800x600 for CTP display.

This is way off topic, but have u had problems running anything else with AMD chip? Its motherboard/processor upgrade time here and looking into using amd processor.

Well, i can tell you that running CTP with anything lower than 300 mhz celeron will be not playing at all. The game will run ok i suppose under 640 x 480 but the load/save times will be ridiculous.

I have a 350 PII myself and i complain all the time
I guess i have become dependant on my university's computers....

Of course, this will be no problem if you like to be the "iron man" heh.


arrrghhhh the 700 PIII ...

Dragonlord, I can tell you that running CTP on an ancient Pentium 200 MMX on a resolution of 1024/768 works fine !

I have a 500 celeron with 128MB Ram and working CTP at 1024/768 and it works pretty fine except when it comes to dealing with the space screen, seeing all those units and cities in space + clouds + all the things on the ground... When I come the that timeline, I usually change the graphics settings with animated goods or something like that. Oh I also have a P166 with 64MB Ram and CTP runs a little slow at 1024/768, I guess I'll take the resolution down a little before I get to space

I have a P3 500 and it runs CTP with no problems. I couldn't even get it to load completely on a P2 233. No idea why, but even Activision said to give up.

First day on Ctp, works fine so far. And my computer... *leans over* is definately a AMD.

Forster, how much Ram does your P2 233 have? I'm quite impressed that it doesn't work, wasn't CTP supposed to be able to play at a minumum of 233? (even if my 166 works)

60 meg, 20g hd, but it was an Aptiva, and I think it may have had something to do with the video card. Oh, well.
I have a P1, 166, also an Aptiva with 32 meg and 12g hd, wouldn't load on that either.

I have found several games that wouldn't load on those machines. The graphics card was soundblaster compatible, but, like I said, wouldn't even install completely.

I've got it running on a couple of overclocked systems (a K6-2 and a Celeron,) both with 64MB initially, although now 256 and 384 respectively. I don't think that its necessarily the processor... maybe some odd motherboard problem?

Well, like I said, I have the P3 and it screams, and I can now play all those games that wouldn't install or play on the other machines.

Happiness is!
