Will this laptop play GalCiv2 with XP installed?

I am going to be getting my father one of these awesome little laptops for Christmas, and I am curious if anyone has attempted to get GalCiv2 running on one of them. My father has been playing MOO2 since it came out, and I think it is time he tried a new game, but he has never had a computer with windows on it powerful enough to run it. Currently he has a 450mhz windows box that he uses for MOO2, and a 900mhz linux box which he refuses to even attempt WINE on.

Basically, I really really want to introduce him to this game, but am very unsure if his new toy will be able to run it.

LCD Resolution: 800x480 (~WVGA)

GalCiv2 requires at least 1024x768 resolution, so this little thing would not be able to run it - or many other games either.

If you decide against that unit, I recently bought an inexpensive Acer Aspire 5670 laptop from Newegg.com that runs the game nicely. It has a Radeon X1600 GPU and a Core Duo processor. I thought it was a great deal. My only complaint is the display isn't the highest quality. I have trouble seeing it outdoors, but it's fine indoors.

Hope that helps.
