Quick question for any if you who may be more knowledgeable in computer hardware. Intel's new integrated GPU, the GMA x3100 looks like it might be able to run Civ4 well. Anyone have an opinion on this? I ask because I will be relpacing my laptop with an ultralight version (Can't lug around one of these 10lb. 17" monsters with dedicated graphics). It seems with the new Santa Rosa chipsets about to hit the market, this Intel chipset could allow me to finally play on the go.

The minimum requirement for Civ4 is TnL hardware graphic card. If you are using integrated GPU, which is may not (or may) TnL hardware graphic card, you can't blame firaxis if you can't run Civ4.

Arto.
