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

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 have a 233mhz processor and 32mb ram, and it won't run it. i was just wondering if it was because my comp. is so bad or for another reason.

I think I have the crappiest computer that actually runs civ3
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)

Thanks guys!
You've made me feel better. My P3 450, 128MB ram, and 32 MB GeForce is the cat's meow next to yours! Thanks again!

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.

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.
