Operating System: 10.6.4 (Snow Leopard)
CPU Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo (Dual-Core)
CPU Speed: 2.4 GHz
Memory: 2 GB RAM
Hard Disk Space: 8 GB
Video Card (ATI): Radeon HD 2600
Video Card (NVidia): Geforce 8600
Here are my specs:
Chipset Model: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M
Type: Display
Bus: PCI
VRAM (Total): 256 MB
Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 3 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz
Would my computer be able to handle this game? or would the lag be too much. I love Civ, but don't want to spend the money if it won't work well with my specs. Main thing I see is that my CPU speed is 2.0 and minimum is 2.4, would that be too much of a difference, or does it even matter.
Thanks for you help.
Rory.

You will be okay with most things on Low. It will still be choppy if you zoom out a lot and scroll around, but it is playable for sure.
The biggest gripe, as I have a similar computer to yours, is that as you move to industrial age and later, the time between turns when it is cranking out all the calculations for the AI will take 3-4 minutes (if not more).
