My advice is go for Core Duo, perferably a core 2 duo cpu. Yet if you're going to be playing Civ4, 2GHz is a better speed for it, but the major limitation your going to encounter is graphics. Yes, graphics for I run Civ4 on both my systems and found it ran better on my laptop (core duo 2ghz, 1gb ram -Compaq nx6320) then me core 2 duo 2.4 ghz with a geForce 5200 GT pluged in. 'Cause, once I fitted 2 geforce7800s in SLI, I'd no probs.
So what ever laptop you look at better have some decent graphic processing strenght. And yeah, I know my laptop's missing some as DVD playback is still a bit grainey, Halo looks nice, BF2 won't run. Meh like who seriously FPS's on a laptop anyway...
