Is that a question? I have really no problems at all running the game. The problems do sound very familiar, initially I couldn't get battlefield2 to run stable. Apparently BF2 has some issues with nvidia cards, whereas civ4 has issues with ATI cards. Adding a lot of RAM and increasing the page file helped a lot as well for playing larger maps. Note that the minimum system reqs might be the absolute minimum for playing the tiniest, ugliest and slowest map possible.
It's impossible to test every combination of hardware. These days it's common practice to release something and then let the public betatest it again for some time. Compared to EA games Firaxis is really fast with new patches, if it is of any condolance.

On a more serious note, let's keep this thread for QUESTIONS.

P.S. Unable to disband cities sucks, I want to get rid of those tiny useless crappy cities that flipped to me!
