The only reason it wouldnt is your video card (or lack of one)
Will my P4 1.8 GHz, 256 MB RAM, nVIDIA GeForce2 MX 400 (64 MB) video card computer run Civ4 (at least bare bones), or is it time to get a new computer?

I'd say get a new computer. 256MB Ram is the Windows XP minimum...

1st: will mostly - graphic can make part of game run slow, but all cool effects will be present
2nd: time to move on buddy: that card doesn't support pixel shaders, which is my own guess that game will not look as good as on comp #1 (I heard that it uses same engine as Pirates, and Pirates look better with pixel shaders)
3rd: same plus your CPU will made it 3x worse than prev

Definitely, and it should run it well.
After reading through this thread, I thank God I have a job so I can get what's needed to play this game at its full potential. No more tuning everything to low detail. My computer pales in comaparison to anything that's been listed so far so I guess I have no choice. More precisely, my card is really crappy.
