Question about Sims 2

[trizisha 0]

Hey There! Before i buy and install The Sims 2 on my computer, i was wondering if i had the right requirements.

 

i have a Dell 2350.

Pentium 4 Processor 1.80 GHz

256 MB RAM

Intel Graphic Controller/ Intel 82845 chip

 

is it lookin good for me? i read somewhere that it had to be 2.0 GHz, but i also read that it could be at least 1.5 GHz.

 

Thanks for you help!

Yep, it should work:

Quote:

The system requirements for The Sims 2 are as follows:

* 800 MHz processor

* 256 MB RAM

* Windows® XP, Windows ME, Windows 98 or Windows 2000 Operating System.

* At least 3.5 GB of hard drive space

* A T&L-capable video card with at least 32 MB of video RAM.

 

Supported video cards:

 

* ATI Radeon series (7000 or better)

* VE series (see note below)

* 7000, 7200, 7500

* 8500, All-In-Wonder 8500

* 9000, 9200, 9500, 9600, 9700, 9800

* X300, X600, X800

 

NVIDIA® Quadro series

* Quadro, Quadro2, Quadro4

 

NVIDIA GeForce series (GeForce2 and better)

Intel® Extreme Graphics (see note below)

NOTE: If you have a non-T&L capable video card, such as Intel Extreme Graphics or Radeon VE series, then you need at least a 2.0 GHz processor.

 

More RAM could help, though.

 

The Sims 2 works fine on my machine; 800MHz, 512MB, GeForce FX 5200.

I suggest getting a fast AGP graphics card. Even a lowly ATI Radeon 9200 card will do.
