what about Intel HD 4000 graphics card?

All-in-ones tend to be a bad idea because of air flow and upgradability and we've seen a number of people who had problems with that graphics chip with Sims 2. That computer doesn't have a graphics card, and that's one of the big problems. Here's a helpful FAQ:

We recommend desktop computers with real graphics cards. Have you read the following FAQs?

Thanks I can't find a desktop computer with a decent graphics card (in Australian stores) though.

Would you consider buying a desktop computer with a reasonable power supply, and then adding a decent graphics card yourself?

Yeah, I don't mind. Any recommendations? I just need the tower, I have the monitor and keyboard and mouse.

Okay... I couldn't find the other graphics card I was thinking (NVIDIA GT 640), so I'm guessing it's not compatible with Sims 2 or Sims 3?

What abut if I buy Bootcamp for the Mac and install my Double Deluxe? The graphics card is ATI Radeon HD 4670 and is not listed.

I'm sorry for being a pain in the bum.
