I was browsing around Direct2Drive, and was thinking about getting 1701 since im in to city builders and I really liked the demo.

Im just wondering if I should get Normal or Gold, because i've heard Gold has issues with continuous play. I've heard it may be caused by your video card, which in this case i've got a 7600 GS. Upon reading the Supported Chipsets on Gold, the 7600 wasn't on there. Has this issue been resolved or is it still a mystery? Any advice is appreciated.

well I have gold and have never had any issues with it. I also have a quite a bit better graphic card though. Personally I don't the the expansion added that much so if I were you I might just stick with the original. Having said that though usually these issues do get resolved but I don't know about this specific one.

Yeah, I don't have the original, and both are the exact same price on D2D for some reason. I was just wondering if they video card thing was a big issue.
