Can a PowerBook G4 handle this game?

Question

These are the system requirements of a game I want to get. But can my computer handle this game? I have a standard PowerBook G4 12" running Tiger.
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later
CPU Processor: PowerPC G5 or Intel chipset
CPU Speed: 1.8 GHz or faster
Memory: 512 MB or higher
Hard Disk Space: 3.5 GB free disk space
Video Card (NVidia): GeForce FX 5200 or better
Video Memory (VRam): 64 MB or higher
Recommended System Requirements:
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4.6 or later
CPU Processor: PowerPC G5 or Intel chipset
CPU Speed: 2.0 GHz or faster
Video RAM: 128 MB
Do you think the standard PowerBook G4 12" could handle this game? The only things my computer doesn't meet are the CPU speed and the CPU chip set (I'm a G4 at 1.5 GHz). Thanks.

Hi College Caleb,
I think the game will run on your system, although it might be slow sometimes:

There's a patch out now from the makers of the game that apparently fixed the sound issues on all systems. Furthermore, even people running Civ IV on dual 2.5 GHz G5s have been experiencing performance issues. Probably they will come up with another patch to make it run more smoothly on all systems. I think I'll give it a try on my PB G4 soon.
Good luck.
