I use a athlon 700 w/128 mb ram, 32mb tnt2 ultra agp. And it seems to lag on 1280x1024 ;-( It does this weird thing were the images get mixed up in squares (kinda like pixalation). But the gameplay out weighs the petty flaws.

the minimum is 64mb ram. given that the minimum for virtual memory is 150mb, going to 128mb for ram sounds a lot better
a duron 700 will do just fine

I have 48 megs Ram. Do you know if the game will install and run slowly or not install at all? I played CTP with 16 civs to the very end on this system so even if it's slow i'm sure i can manage. My income is such that i cannot afford both a RAM upgrade and the Game for some time.

The game will run (virtual memory), but believe me, it won't be enjoyable.

Guys, I have 128 MB RAM and the slowest of all Pentium3 (450MHz). Still I am worried about the fact that I have WindowsMe installed. Do you think I am going to face any serious problem or I sould buy the game with no second thought?

you can easily run this game on a lower end system, just turn off the animations, etc. I have a p3 500, 288mb ram, and the game runs pretty much the same as ctp1.

What about networking games. (LAN)
I know the host computer will do a lot of the work. So how much difference would the quality of the second computer make. Would it slow the game significantly?
In my case the second comp is 233Mhz Pentium II, 64 Mb Ram.
