Toshiba Satellite A505-S6960.
I bought it last September, and plan on getting the demo to see but never hurts to ask.
Q8300 2.5GHz
8GB DDR2
Radeon 4350
If the card seems too weak, please suggest one that is not huge as this computer has no room for monster double height 13" long graphics boards.
The computer thinks it has two logical cores at ~2GHz
Ok what about my ATI Radeon X1950XT 512MB

It's a Direct X9 card and older than the one in the specs but also has double the amount of RAM!?
I'm guessing im gunna be running Civ V on low graphics lol
The more I think about it, the more I am convinced: Those GPU Requirements cannot be true. They are downright insane for a turn-based game. They might very well be the highest of any game yet, in any genre.
Consider the Graphics Card Heirarchy Chart:

Those requirements exclude something along the lines of 90% of the world's laptops, and 75% of the world's desktops. If I was on the sales staff at Firaxis, I would murder the programmers for even suggesting these requirements.
Simply put, I do not believe this. If true, Civ 5 will be a huge failure. Deservedly so.
