Will CivIV work on this laptop?

[Andrewspriggs]

I've heard about all the heartache and that stuff, so I do NOT want to buy Civ IV or a laptop if they will be incompatible.

(I already know my desktop doesn't have T&L abilities, so it cannot play CivIV).

What I want to do is get a laptop that can play Civ IV--because I need a new machine anyway and if I can kill two birds with one stone, so be it.

The specs CAN BE ADJUSTED (because I haven't purchased this yet), but here they are right now:

Compaq Presario V4000T
--Windows XP Home Edition with SP2
--Pentium M Processor (1.6 Ghz)
--128 MB Radeon Mobility X700
--1.0 GB DDR2 SDRAM
--40 GB Harddrive (@ 4200 RPM)

Would this machine play Civ IV well? What should I look to reconfigure?

You should be OK.

So, the major problems associated with playing this game--are they usual? Or is it pretty unusual to have problems? It seems to me this game is a 'computer breaker', ^_^.
