Can I play Civilization IV?

1.5gb RAM
1.6 ghz Processor
Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator 900

Obviously, the catch is the graphics card.

Thanks so much!

GMA900 has pixel shader 2.0 so it should run slow

ouch, i just looked it up. theorhetically yes, but you would definately want to download the "static leaderheads mod" that will make the leaders into a simple jpg instead of rendering them.

dude, you should buy a nVidia 7600 or something, even if you have AGP8x. if you have PCI-E slot on your motherboard, you could do even better! ASK SANTA :p

I totally would, how do I find out if that is compatible? Can I just buy it and put it in?

I fear upgrading laptops :)
