  Yes, but the graphics processor is poor if you want to play much newer games, especially FPSs.

  Just plan to install DOTA and Medal of Honor only in my laptop. But I kinda disappointed with the graphic card.
  
  Do you think it can support Civilization?

  Should be fine. But to be safe, you should try to go for at least a 256 Mb dedicated graphics card.

  very hard? u getting a mini tower or Barebone?
  
  integrated but u still can buy a graphic card and render the integrated GPU useless.
  
  4GB ram sounds overkill to me lei

  Yes, if it's a desktop I think the graphics card can easily be modified or added.
  
  4Gb is not overkill. Windows Vista (I assume it's using that OS) is a well-known resource guzzler.
