Yes you'll be fine with that card.It will run Napolean also no problem.
Empire itself is a buggy game had problems with my 5850 running it.
Disable your onboard graphics in bios and check your ram settings.
You should get your full 4gigs.

since its windows xp 32 bit it uses all 4 gigs but only 3.25 of it is avaliable since its 32 bit OS

Win7 64 and the 955 would really open up gaming performance.
