I play occasionally - you need to get the Magna Mundi Gold mod for it though, it improves the game from kinda "meh" to "decent". The one big problem I have with it is that a game can take upwards of 12-18 hours, and it's difficult for my ADD mind to concentrate that long (leaving aside the question of whether that's a valuable use of one's time).
If you are a history buff it's quite interesting to play contra-historically to see if you can succeed; for example I've tried conquering France as the English, continuing the Hundred Year's War into a second, third and fourth century... You can also play as a historically "backward" nation and see if you can acquire European technology and methods and then fight off the colonial powers, or make your own colonial empire for that matter. Really, though, the mod adds so much content I can't even imagine playing without it.
As far as your video card goes, I think you just need 128 mb RAM and DirectX 9 or better capable to play. I know my gaming machine cpu/video is almost 4 years old and I have no trouble playing at all.
