I've run civ on worse. 512 MB RAM, older graphics, slower CPU. OTOH I did not have Vista but XP...
Expect your system to be prone to overheating. Disable everything you can, both in Windows and in Civ4. Smaller maps should be playable OK.

Thank you I really appreciate it. I was unsure if this ol laptop could handle it.

Much appreciated
