Re: new Civ IV - impossible sys reqs

by Benjamin Meyer <benja@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Jun 1, 2006 at 03:23 PM

I own an Intel Mac mini Core Duo processor and 1,25 GB RAM.
I came from normal PC and played Civ4 there for quite some time.
What I find interesting is this:

If you install Windows XP with bootCamp, install Civ4 with the latest 
Patch and then play Civ4 - it works perfect.
Smooth scrolling, quite fast reactions even with great savegames etc.

I was surprised about that.
So, that might be an alternative for users with new Intel-Macs.
