I have:

Windows XP Home
ASUS M2R32-MVP AM2 AMD 580X CrossFire ATX AMD Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ Windsor 3.2GHz Socket AM2 125W Dual-Core Processor
ATI Radeon x1900 XTX 512mb video card
2 GB Corsair DDR2 RAM
DVD Burner & DVD ROM drives (I forget which brand)
Sound Blaster Audiology sound card
Western Digital 250 GB main hard drive
Seagate 200 GB secondary hard drive
630 watt power supply

Basically, I just need to upgrade my video card and probably my power supply. I still haven't decided which card I want since I'm leaning towards the GeForce 8800 my brother has, but after putting up with BSOD errors for over a year with no working solution or even any real acknowledgment that the issue was legitimate I switched from my 6600 GT to my Radeon card. And seeing how when EAxis finally did admit it was a real problem, long after I bought my Radeon card, they blamed it on Norton, which I've never had, I'm still not sure I even want to try a GeForce card again.

is it normal that I lag the first 5 second I load a big house / enter a community lot or when I press the very very fast speed button on a community lot with this configuration?

testeure - Yes that is unsurprising with that graphics card. Check out our sticky 'Can my computer run TS2/TS3?' if you'd like more information on what components are more likely to run things smoothly. The thread is filled with discussion on this

My PC is probably a year old...an Emachines.

My Video Card: ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro...Gives me 512 MB
My Processor: 2 IP D CPUs Running on 2.80 GHz Each
My Ram: 2 GB Ram.
My Disk Drive: I have 2, one INTERNAL...one EXTERNAL.

We plan on buying a new MOTHERBOARD, so we can place in 4 GB Ram, and place in 2 512 ATI cards. High POWER BABY! ~_^. Which could happen soon.

Currently still being built <3

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
2GB RAM
2x 160GB HDDs
Asus 8800GT 1GB
Windows XP Professional
19" widescreen monitor

I'm already in love with it.

My six years old, current system:

Intel Pentium 4, 1.6GHz
512MB RAM
40GB HDD
Asus 6200 128MB
Windows 2000 Professional
15" monitor

So a new one is very needed. 8D

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;
what is essential is invisible to the eye.
