600x800, I don't think you can get that resolution, unless you have some kind of unique monitor?

I'm sure those two resolutions will be acceptable. I think it will just be that 1024x768 will be recommended. I wouldn't be too worried if I were you.

I don't know - they list 1024x768x16 as a Requirement -
and I doubt those requirements are just recommendations.
(I can't imagine anyone recommending a Windows box w/32MB memory)

Are you sure about that, I have never seen a game (or anything) accepting a resolution like 600x800, have you?

aiyah.

you can ONLY use 1024x768

About the 600x800, it's possible, but it would be an odd video card to support that.

I've seen legal paper length monitors for secretaries (extra long monitors). That might be where the 600x800 comes from. (by the way, in 1024 x 768, is the 1024 width or height?

You just have to flip the monitor 90 degrees and use some drivers that flips the output

You can copy the URL from the page source and paste it in a downloader (GetRight), or a browser that not support flash.

This makes no sense. 600x800, while technically possible, doesn't exist.

Yeah, I think it's 640x480 too.

Civ3 listed 1024x768x16 as a Requirement. Maybe you can get lucky, I've played civ2 without a soundcard once and it was listed as a minimal requirement back then as well.
