Hmm, yeah, I wouldn't be real crazy about a bunch of new stuff like
that, either. I like exploring, choosing strategic sites for cities,
diplomacy, and military strategy. My main problems with Civ3 are
fromthe AI behaving stupidly in the diplomacy and strategy - all it
seems to know how to do is spread cities out like locusts covering the
land. I think I'll start antoher thread specifically about that...

My current PC has a card, but just whatever came standard in it when
my Dad bought it four or five years ago. Maybe I need to swap the card
from my old PC, which isn't currently being used for much. I don't
recall the name/numbers/specs, but that was a pretty decent gaming
card I put in it only a couple years ago, so should be better than
what I'm using.
