Could I play BTS on this laptop?

Hi everyone. I'm pretty clueless when it comes to hardware, but I'm looking to buy this laptop because several mags recommend it and it seems pretty good for the price. I'm not buying it for gaming, but I do like the odd game of Civ4 on my friends' expensive machines. Would this laptop run BTS?

Many thanks.

looks good

the graphics card should be up to the task - RAM is plenty and the processors are above min specs (though note that the game will always only use one processor so it will not be the fastest on large maps).

Thanks Ori.

Is the graphics card really good enough? My brother thought it was crap because it doesn't have dedicated memory. Is this right?

frankly - it is not a very good card for 3D games and such - it does exceed the minimum specs for this game most likely though and with people having reported that the game runs on the much older 9xx version of this graphics chip it should be expected that it does run the game. Obviously this also will likely mean that it will run (much) slower than in machines with dedicated graphics memory...
