waffler , iam not sure whether i have this 'integrated graphics. how do i check if i have one?? and yes besides i think my graphic card is pretty updated or rather which is the latest driver version of this graphic card? my card info.. INTEL® EXTREME GRAPHICS REPORT Report Date: 11/22/2004 Report Time[hr:mm:ss]: 22:09:10 Driver Version: 4.13.01.3264 Operating System: Windows 98* 4.10.2222 A Default Language: English DirectX* Version: 8.1 Physical Memory: 253 MB Processor: x86 Processor Speed: 2401 MHZ Vendor ID: 0x8086 Device ID: 0x2562 Device Revision: 1

well .. actually i just ran the 'sims 2 System requirements CHECKER' . I am yet to buy the game. i downloaded this from the net . it actually puts a tick mark next to the available items. OS: WIN 98(tick) MEMORY: 254( wrong mark - 256 MB required) GRAPHIC CARD(t & L):tick CPU:tick( i actually have well almost he double mhz and P4) HARD DRIVE: tick only the ram part.will it still run without problems??

answer my question please.....can i run it??

I have been using WINdows 98 since a year. I dunno when, but i have recently realised that 2 Mb RAM has vanished from my total memory which was 256MB RAM. i am sad that my system is not able to satisfy the min. system requirements for some games and softwares. Using the EA system info , i found out that - Total Memory: 254 Mb Free memory: 2 mb what is this free memory? has it gotta do anything with the vanishing 2 mb RAMs.Please help me

well sampson,peterh ans waffler thanks a lot. especially sampson ...my motherboard is Intel Desktop board, pentium 4 processor, 256 mb ram. i heard that actually always the manufacturers round up the value of memory.256-254,64-63.(any arguments are surely entertained). Iam a beginner and have loads to learn.sampson,u'r letter was sooo informative thanks a lot!

Really!?? but i still have this doubt in my mind dummy777 pal. well does this mean a game or software say , in its min. system reqirements specifies a minimum of 256 MB RAm to run .so can i with 254 MB Ram run it on my system smoothly?? please answer my question 'cause i am bit woried. p.S: well actually my cousin has brought me the game sims2 , and will present it to me next week. so i am worried that it won't work as its min. system requirements suggest atleast 256MB is required. 'the min.sys.checker of sims2' said that i could not run this game cause my ram's only 254 mb.
