To give us a really good idea of how well your computer runs N:TW, copy down your graphic settings that you run with and post them here, then play a game while running RivaTuner in the backround
You can download it here: http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=163
for a guide on how to set it up properly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IU3BbI-8ICk
Post on here your min/max/avg FPS and that should give us an overall better idea of how your system runs.

I'm confused.
Go to Computer -> System Properties -> Windows Experience Rating. What are the different ratings?

Copied this from Notebook check.
"Compared to the predecessor GMA X3100, the GMA 4500MHD has two more shaders and a 33 MHz higher core clock speed. Therefore, the chip is noticable faster than the older one (especially in 3DMark06). Still, the performance is just on par with the entry level dedicated graphics cards and therefore not suited for demanding games. Some older games like Fear can be played in low details and low resolutions.
Compared to other modern integrated graphic cards like the Nvidia GeForce 9400M (G 102MNVIDIA GeForce G 105M) or AMD ATI Radeon HD 3200, the GMA 4500M HD noticably slower and provides less optimized drivers for games."
This chipset is DX10 compatible. 3D and HD are no problem. Runs movies smoothly. It's only problem is running newer high graphic games such as COD4. Civ5 will probably not require super fast frame rates. I'm leaning towards this being OK for Civ5. probably not on the highest setting, but........ We will only know for sure when the system requirements are posted by 2K.
However one of the devs was quoted as saying. "We've made the engine/programming stuff so damn efficient we can have thousands of animated characters on screen at any one time while Civ IV struggled with 100.... oh and by the way, we can make the game run on integrated graphics"

Yeah. I think they said they were trying to also let the game run on integrated graphics which is what you have.
You definitely won't be able to run it with all the bells and whistles (water reflections and what not). But you should be able to at least runthe game and still have a great experience!

You'll have no trouble running Civ5 with those specs. And if you can play battles in Nappy you have an adequate video card as well. Don't worry.
.But I read that they got this to run the game great.

If its true, which it is, then my computer should run it. My graphics card is only a little bit behind that one.

Thankfully, you will be able to test it without buying, when the demo comes out.
