No need for tech help, but this may interest you fellas.

I have Civ4+both Exps installed on my laptop, no big deal. But the things is, is that it's running at nearly high settings, but my lappy only beats the requirements by one category.

Here's the important specs:

OS: XP SP2
Proc: Intel Pentium M @ 1.7Ghz
Vidcard: 32MB ATI 9600, non overclocked (this is where I'm surprized)
RAM: 768MB w'ever blah blah it's old (This is where I think the vid card's low specs get compensated)

I just thought that the knowledge that the game will run well on a setup like this would help some people.

What kind of Radeon 9600 has only 32mb VRAM? Even my old Radeon 9600 has 256mb

I thought it was odd too, but that's what it has listed.

It IS an ATI Mobility, if that makes a difference.

LATE EDIT: The Mobility makes the difference, the ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 has a 32MB VRAM model.

I was also able to bump up all the settings (except for AA and High Detail Terrain, though I haven't tried terrain yet) to their maximum settings with little more than some light jitters during heavy processing, which also happens on my Desktop that has a 512MB vidcard in it, so all is good!
