Julzz Explains the sims3 Hardware Requirements are Nonsense !

[heather]

My computer meets the requirements, but if necessary I will upgrade. I would like to buy a new computer, but having just bought a new house that may not be possible.

My last computer met the requirements for Sims 2, but it ran so slow, I bought a new one just after Sims 2 was released.
The game is the cheap part of being a sims fan. They really are doing their best. We want seamless, and it is going to cost us.

Sims is not the only game that needs high specs, the better the game the more it will take to run it.
If you remember back to the first computer games we played, they were extremely simple. I used to play Kings Quest for example. Having seen it recently on a computer, I can tell you it looked like crap. Games and computers have come a long way.

I guess I am one of those Grannies with a computer that Ben Bell was talking about, and it will run on my computer, how well is yet to be determined.
If it needs upgrading I will go out and buy the parts when I can, and install them. I am lucky I can do the job myself.

I don't think overclocking your computer is a good idea. It can cause more grief than it is worth.

For those that haven't heard of Kings Quest, it was an early 1980's game.  {lol}
