I have a buddy who has a birthday coming up and he loves RTS's, and he doesn't have the best computer. He has 1gb RAM, a 256mb video card, 160gb HDD, and I think a 1.8ghz single core CPU... That's as close as I can get to his specs.. He has these: Starcraft Rome: Total War Shogun: Total War SimCity 4 A few others that I can't think of... Can I have some recommendations on what to get him?

Try Empire Earth Gold, which is the first title and the expansion: http://www.amazon.com/Empire-Earth-Gold-Pc/dp/B000083JX6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=software&qid=1247000883&sr=8-1 It's also extremely cheap, as you can see in the above link.
