Graphics needed for Civ 4?

[ChickenHawk]

I will be buying a laptop computer in the next month or two. I will want to play Civ 4 on it but I have no idea what Civ 4's graphics requirements will be, except that the game will be rendered in 3D. Does anyone have any advice on what kind of graphics I should get?

a) any integrated graphics should be fine
b) Intel Extreme Graphics
c) Intel Extreme Graphics 2
d) a 32MB graphics card
e) a 64MB graphics card
f) a 128MB graphics card

I realise that we don't have much information to go on right now, but I'd like to hear some of your opinions and advice. Thanks

look at the game Pirates! for some information because the same specs will be for Civ4 since it uses the same graphic engine as Pirates!

e) a 64 MB graphics card

Thank you both for your prompt replies. The minimum amount of VRAM (Video RAM) required for Pirates! was 32 MB, so this might rise to 64 MB for Civ 4. I guess I'll get a laptop with a 64 MB or 128 MB graphics card.

Thanks again.
