Is this good enough for the sims or will he graphics be poor..
I posted a thread at the sims resource aswell, but i just want some more opinions.

Thanks!

That is actually a fairly good system for that price. I am not familiar with that card though even if you had to upgrade price wise you are doing pretty nice you can upgrade the card for like 140.00 to the NVIDIA 8600 GT with 256 memory on it and it would be great. Personally I refuse to buy a manufactured system and will not use Vista anytime soon. But if not for my dislike of the manufactured ones and that OS I would buy that one myself

2400 isn't a very good card for gaming in the least. It's a low budget/low-end non-gamer's option. Even the 8400 GT beats it.. which is yet again a low-end non gaming alternative. Yeah, upgrading to a 8600 GT would be a HUGE HUGE improvement. Prob too much if the only game you play is TS2.. if one could ever have too much Even a 7600 GS or GT would be a big improvement over that card.

Otherwise, specs look good.

It is a nice computer. The GPU will play TS2, but you really should upgrade it to the best you can afford. Another gig of RAM would be cheap and easy to install, with a performance boost.

Are you kidding me? It has 3GB of ram.. You can't even make use of any more unless a computer has a 64-bit operating system and even then TS2 won't even come CLOSE to using it. Sorry but ignore the ram comment. 3GB is plenty.

I have 3GB's of ram on my new computer and have come nowhere close to using it all. Of course Vista hogs a little of it but I only use the new computer for the Sims 2. I also would not recommend more ram.
