    The system requirements for Civ 5 have been released, and they seem higher than any other reqs I can find. With a processor req of a 1.8 GHz Quad Core CPU is there any chance this will run well on an Asus G73Jh with a 1.6GHz Intel Core i7-720QM?

    (I just ordered a G73Jh and was hoping it would run games for a while, now I'm concerned it won't run next month's releases since Civ 5 comes out in September.)

    Minimum System Requirements
    Operating System: Windows XP SP3/ Windows Vista SP2/ Windows 7
    Processor: Dual Core CPU
    Memory: 2GB RAM
    Hard Disk Space: 8 GB Free
    DVD-ROM Drive: Required for disc-based installation
    Video: 256 MB ATI HD2600 XT or better, 256 MB nVidia 7900 GS or better, or Core i3 or better integrated graphics
    Sound: DirectX 9.0c-compatible sound card
    DirectX: DirectX version 9.0c

    Recommended System Requirements
    Operating System: Windows Vista SP2/ Windows 7
    Processor: 1.8 GHz Quad Core CPU
    Memory: 4 GB RAM
    Hard Disk Space: 8 GB Free
    DVD-ROM Drive: Required for disc-based installation
    Video: 512 MB ATI 4800 series or better, 512 MB nVidia 9800 series or better
    Sound: DirectX 9.0c-compatible sound card
