will that allow me to play my sims 3 game

get it if you can... i need one too but im broke.

It will allow you. If you have extra money try 8600 GT 512 MB DDR2.

How Much is it? cause like this computer isnt mine and i dont got a job... so..

it is 37 bucks

For 8600 GT 512 MB DDR2?


cause i told my mom our computer really needs it so she said when she gets the money we will order it.

Nononono!!!
8600 GT is old and (crap). The 9000 series are just REBRANDS and bring NO performance gains.
Save up some money and get this card:

/END FAIL OF NVIDIA

NVIDIA 9400GT 1024 DDR2  (requires at least 350 watt power supply)

You don't want to spend money on a graphics card if you can only run the game on low or medium settings. Or on high with lag.

I just bought this card a week ago, and i'm really immpressed. My computer is 3 years old, but the game runs PERFECT!  {clap}

hope this helped.  I just would hate to see someone spend the $ on a cheapo graphics card, and not get to experience the game to its highest extent!! Plus, when expantion packs come out you made need something more powerfull  {unsure}

PLEASE do some research before you post. $75 for a 9400GT IS TERRIBLE. FOR $69 you get a RADEON HD 4670 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6814161252 WHICH DESTROYS A 9600GT let alone a 9400!
