MacWorld today published a sneak preview of the Mac version of Civilization IV, which is shipping next Monday. The article talks about the new Civ4 features such as civics and the 3D engine, and also mentions the game’s performance on two Mac machines:
At first, Civilization IV plays very much like the previous editions of the game. The game comes as a Universal Binary, so I tested the game on both a 1.83GHz MacBook with 512MB of RAM and on my Dual 2GHz Power Mac G5 with 2.5 GB RAM. Thanks to the extra RAM, the game ran a bit smoother on the PowerPC-based G5, but it was still fully playable on the MacBook. (It should be noted that MacBooks and Intel-based Mac minis arent officially supported by Aspyr due to their integraged graphics chips. Your experience may be different from mine, but I found mine satsifactory.)
