I had the problem with my Compaq Presario R3000. However, I went to compaq.com and updated my driver, it still "does not meet Recommended," but it works. 
are all laptops doomed?

Quanta KN1 with GeForce 6600 Go working fine here. Did have an other graphics bug (corrupt textures in planetary view), but the 82.10 drivers fixed that.

No, I already had the latest drivers from Dell and I just installed and started playing.
I did remove the drivers and install the Omega drivers to see it that would get rid of the game slowdown problem, but it did not. I did not notice any difference between the Dell drivers and the Omega drivers. I have read of other users having the slowdown problem, but on other hardware. Most people with the Radeon Mobility 9000 seem to be having trouble running the game at all.
Other than the slowdown problem, it's running fine on my Dell. I'm wondering if the game slowdown is a game problem, or if there's some service on my machine (defrag, AV, etc.) that's kicking in and dragging the system down.

Wow, it's been a while...
I have only the choppy music-wonder movie problem with my HP zd7000 with some geforce card or another (sorry I can't be more specific, I'm at work w/o the laptop) but the game ran fine otherwise.

What is T&L? Just checking to see if I should start worrying.

Dell Inspiron 8500 with GeForce4 Go ... no problems other than wonder movie sounds being choppy.
T&L stands for texture and lighting ... if your graphics card has the capability built in, then you're probably fine.

I have a GeForce4 440 GO 64m, and after installing the video driver from omegadrivers.net, Civ4 is now running (though it is still a bit choppy at times). It is important to note that the omegadrivers are modified versions of the ones released from the actual companies and are therefore NOT official versions of the video driver. But hey at least Civ4 is playable now.

My laptop works, just not spectacularly. My specs and problems are listed here: (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=133629). This is a thread containing working and non-working configs.
