    Try Rome Total War and possibly Medieval 2 Total War, but not sure if that graphics card would handle it.

    Its basicallly the same as Civ4, but the time period is much smaller and there are combat battles with 100's of men.

    Rome Total War sounds good. I need to check about the graphics. Also to the guy who said go to a shop, I dont want to be ****ed around by the idiot staff in there.

    I agree. If you go to a shop and become too passive, you might walk out of the store with a copy of Crysis.

    Rome Total War will work well on your computer. I have it at home; on my laptop, and my cpu is much slower than yours.
