How Well Will Civ4 Gold Run on My Laptop?

[SG-17]

I am getting Civ4 Gold in a few days, and I am wondering how well it will run on my laptop?
I have 446 mb RAM (Vista takes up the other 100), Windows Vista, 1.60 ghz Intel Celeron M Processor, 128 mb ATI Graphics Card. And 40 GB free on my hard drive.

RAM is too weak.
processor is slightly weak.
video card is fine. although u should tell us what card it is. rather than just ATI.

I checked the system requirements and the minimum is 256mb of RAM, and a 1.40 ghz processor. So even almost double the RAM, and .2 more processing power is not enough, even if I slim down on the graphics?

Minimum requirements are just that, minimum. It will be really slow

Am afraid hes right. You have no chance. Sadly another in the pile thats increasing everday and consisting of more n more who bought a game advertised as 'playable' on their computers specs.

Imagine we had a list you could sigh for all who said this from Jan2006 and on.? Heck it would be huge and im not includin the mass amount who bought in during oct/nov/dec 2005 before patches resolved the worst flaws in design

I didnt buy it.

MY friend let my borrow his copy to try.
It is a bit laggy, but after I turned all of the graphics to low, and turned off the sidebar before I started it is ok.
Now is it just the RAM that is the problem, or is it the processor too, and Vista?
