Citizen Processor x86 Family 15 Model 2 Stepping 9 GenuineIntel ~2392 Mhz Total Physical Memory 512.00 MB edit: Well i bought and it works. I'm not getting the benefits of the 3d drive but i've never been into these things for the graphics. Not sure how well it will hold up on a massive late game but I'm enjoying it so far

Thanks for the advice. I appreicate it. I just reinstalled DirectX 9.0c End-User Runtime and there were no warnings or apparent failures. I'm not too fussed about graphics i just really enjoy the AI. You've given me the confidence to take a punt. But if anyone else has some contrary advice please don't be shy!

Will it run on my computer? A question from a computer ignoramus in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Ok, let me say upfront that i know nothing about computer hardware and software etc;. i have a laptop which is a about two and a half years old. I'm quite fine not playing game son it but I really enjoyed Gal Civ 1 and given the modest specs on Glav Civ 2 i thought i would check to see if this hunk of junk could manage Gal Civ 2.

As Baker puts it "The Spanish majority have hated the Iraqi war since the beginning, but they didn't get their way." In other words their Government was not representing them (as is supposed to be the case in a democracy) and so they threw the unrepresentative democracy out. And you don't like this.

Reply to The left and hatred in Democrat JoeUser Forums

Sure there is hatred on both sides, but after trying to take a more even handed approach throughout my university years, I have abandoned any attempt to find a middle ground with conservatives. Why?

Gee Super and Brad, it is really nice of you to think that your reductionist account liberalism and your blinkered account of conservatism is fair and balanced. Saint has got it right.
