resurfacing for air

After about 48 hours of Civ4, i'll have to catch up to see what i've been missing.  I will say this: the so-called "minimum" and "recommended" system requirements, as far as RAM goes, are a joke.  The game sucks up 410 MB of RAM, and i saw it hogging over 700 MB of virtual memory after i exited the game.  When your stripped-down Win2K installation uses 180 MB of memory just sitting there, it's inescapable that you need a minimum of 640 MB, and you should really get a gigabyte in there to be comfy.

Also, you need a substantially beefier system if you want to play on the hugest maps - otherwise, it runs out of space for graphics, and everything gets funky.

Fortunately for me, I'm awful at Civilization, so I can generally get slaughtered before I even explore the medium map.
