ok. i have a pretty crap pc. it's not even a gaming pc, and it's a small dell optiplex that isn't even compatible with graphics cards. though i can play WoW and Guild Wars on it. nothing fancy. so my questions is would i be able to run this game on my pc at low settings or even install and play at all? if not then i don't want to waste my time, you know? i just really want to play it.

It is very important that you ensure that you are using the latest drivers and versions of all of your software. While doing this you might encounter some specific conflicts with the minimum specifications for Civ4.

For example, if you have an ATI video card and you are using Windows XP you must (it says recommends but when problems are present and no solutions present themselves it is sometimes necessary to make recommended a requirement) have Service Pack 2 installed to meet the requirements of the ATI driver.
