Yes, though it'll probably work with the lowest settings.

256 MB ATI HD2600 XT or better,
256 MB nVidia 7900 GS or better,
or Core i3 or better integrated graphics.

I think it would struggle, if possible a cheap upgrade would help.

it will but it wont be fun to play, i recently installed it on a 3200HD and at the lowest settings it is very laggy, id think it would be even worse after exploring a lot of the map, also the visuals is so bad after turning them all low that id rather play civ 3

edit: im also playing civ 5 on a desktop with 9600gt 512, it still lags when i had explored more than half of a large map
which is why im no considering to get something at the range of gts450 to gtx460/6850
