Video Card for Civilization IV

[G9]

I'm wondering if the Intel® GMA 900 Extreme Graphics, with DirectX9, will be able to play CIV IV and even the lowest settings. Here are the minimum requirements as stated on the CIV IV website: DirectX 9.0c-compatible 64 MB video card with Hardware T&L support ( GeForce 2/Radeon 7500 or better)

Also, is this sound card compatible: Sound Blaster Pro Compatible 5.1 Digital Audio? The minimum is a sound card compatible with directx9.

Not absolutely sure but I think that that vid card will do fine. Civ 4 isn't that demanding. And almost every sound card should be compatible with almost every game, and ur sound card is not any 20 year old dinosaur so it will work great with any game.

It should do okay. Don't think of playing it on high settings, though.

Of course.

Thanks for your help, all.

No problem. Actually, I had the impulse to see if Far Cry would play on my laptop... It shall be interesting!
