Well my grandma gave me her 1 year old comp (i think she bought it last year) she now has a huge flat screen comp.....so I have her semi new computer all I need to do is update it more so its up to my level; pleased. I am going to buy tons of ram for it. And make sure it is treated royalty.

I think I have 2 Gigs of RAM or something like that. It works very well.

Even though I run Sims2 on a laptop, I see no difference in the running of the actual game between the laptop and my old desktop. In fact, it runs waaaaaaaaaaaay faster on my laptop, because I have at least twice the RAM.
The one downside is, I can't update the graphics card. I would dearly love to, but I can probably live without the better graphics... They're tolerable, but not anything special.

I think tha u would need a computer with a rather big hard drive, cause if any rembers how much it took to play sims2 and when sims3 proberly have better grapics it would proberly slow it down even more, :-\ but thats only my assumtions 8)
Re: Computer Specs? - Leafy - 17-03-2008 12:12 AM
Not hard drive, I think, but memory. I think you might need at least 1 gig, though, as apposed to the 512 MB required for TS2.

Sims 2 runs well on my computer. But I am dying to see what the specifications are for Sims 3.
