I shall now be able to sleep at night, secure in the comforting knowledge that I have contributed to the longest thread on the Freeola 'PC Gaming' forum.
The relief washes over me in an awesome wave.

Cheers for that Bob I'll look into it :D
I have a little program called CPU-Z that tells you what kind of RAM you have in each of your RAM slots, so from that you can see what kind you need :) It was easier than trying to decipher my motherboard manual, which made things less than clear.
Anyone who knows, how much should I be expecting to pay for a reliable PSU suitable for a high end graphics card?

Yeah, I mean I think this computer had problems with Civ 3 when I had cities and units covering the whole world.
Civ4 I could just survive. The thing is I only had 512MB of Ram. Years ago I was told that 1GB was too much :( So I didnt get anymore.
Now I'm worried about getting the wrong kind of RAM so just leaving it till I get a new computer. THough I'll still use this one I'm sure.
Civ4s good but before the 1.5 patch it was really screwy.

Civ 4's a pretty demanding game. For what it is. Well, on the RAM front anyway.
I know that on bigger maps I'd be off to get a cup of tea inbetween turns.. haven't tried it with my new RAM though.

My computer is okay but playing new games, I'm gonna have to get a new computer. At the moment I just play ET and Civ4. Didn't even get a chance to play WoW :(

I have completed phase one of my computer upgrade.
I now have 1 gig of ram and new headphones
pwnzor noob!
No more annoying caching pauses on DoD but my frame rate still sucks.
Phase two, consisting of a new graphics card and PSU will commence as soon as I can bring myself to part with a large chunk of money. :(

It might even one day, be worth it!
