You have a half decent system as it is really for this game, well above spec.

The scrolling is going to be based on your video card.

The graphics are very intensive in Parodox games even though it may not look it.
They are not 3D but do strain the other aspects of the card. The size of the map and the number of Bitmap on the screen is huge.

Two things with your current system.
Since you have an Athlon Chip you may use VIA drivers. These drivers are known to be buggy and can cause slow downs or CTD.
Alos your video card may not be configured optimally.
 
Regarding the card I have the exact same situation as Owen I updated to the 9600 and had no problems before the upgrade or after.
 
Most modern cards should not have a problem as long as AGP is enabled.
