One of the most important things for playing games is the hard drive (big and very fast )and RAM (fast 2 Gigabyte)and of course the video card (the best you can get/can pay). After this you must have a very fast monitor 4 ms refresh no more. You can take AMD or Intel they both are dependable.

Pentium Extreme E........ if u want real performance with games.\nIts a very good processor,but takes a lot of power.Also hav a pretty good cooling system if u r goin 4 dis

yes, your machine should be able to run any game out there, although it won't give the best performance possible on some of the more demanding titles...\n\ni'd say that as long as you don't want all graphics/lighting etc at the highest possible settings, then your pc should do the trick.

Sounds like a familiar problem I had 2 years ago LOL\n\nI played CoC Generals on a laptop Pentium 3, 128 Mb RAM and instead of waiting 5 minutes to launch a nuclear weapon, it took bloody 20 minutes. Each soldier takes ages to move a inch on the screen.\n\nBut hell, I played it anyway, for 1 month or so.\n\nNow I have the best config. PC around, so I cannot complain hehehe. Either go get a new PC, or upgrade your RAM and video card.

I have a Pentium 2.4 and can play Doom 3, but you have to have a very good graphics card, and at the very least 1gb of memory if you want any of the special effects (Spectacular) in your game settings...\nIn general, video game require a good graphics card more than a fast or powerful processor, but having both is the best option.

Nvidia GeForce 7800, PCI-X, preferably with 512Mb of RAM. Very expensive, though.

The new Intel Duo-something. I have an AMD processor in this one though and it seems to be pretty fast.

Windows 2000 and Windows XP should be fine if you not intent to run heavy program like gaming. But recommand you upgrade your RAM to 512MB, it make your programs run smooth.

This are the system requirements:\n    * Windows XP, ME, 98, 95 and 2000 (2000 Server and NT are not supported)\n    * 500 MHz processor\n    * 128 MB RAM\n          o 256 MB for Windows XP and Windows 2000\n    * CD/DVD-Rom Speed: 16x\n    * At least 1.2 GB of additional hard drive space\n    * Sound: DirectX 8.1 compatible sound card\n    * Keyboard\n    * MS compatible Mouse\n    * Controllers are not supported by this title\n    * A video card with at least 32 MB of video RAM with DirectX 8.1 compatible driver and one of the supported chipsets.\n\nSupported video cards:\n\n    * Nvidia GeForce 256 or Higher\n    * ATI Radeon or Higher\n    * Matrox G400\n    * Matrox Parhelia\n\nAdditionally, the following specifications are required for multiplayer:\n\n    * One set of game discs per player.\n    * Internet Exlporer 6.0 or higher \n    * 56Kbps or faster direct Internet connection is supported\n    * DSL or Broadband connection is recommended \n\n\nThese next steps are settings that can be changed inside the game itself.\n\n    * You can also change the video settings:\n          o To reach the video settings:\n                + From the Main Menu select Options.\n                + Select Video. \n          o Systems with 128MB of RAM should always run the game with video settings set to "LOW".\n          o From the Video menu select Texture Quality and experiment with the slider in order to find the best setting for your computer.\n          o You can also try lowering the Graphics Quality and Effect Quality in order to meet your machines level of performance.\n          o You can uncheck the Shadows check box. This will prevent the game from creating dynamic shadows for soldiers and vehicles and should improve performance.\n          o Try unchecking the Lightmaps check box. This will prevent the game from adding detailed shadows on the buildings, which should improve your performance.\n          o You can also uncheck the Environmental Mapping check box. This will remove the environmental effects on water, vehicles and weapons. This should improve your performance.\n          o Also from the Video menu, try to reduce your View Distance in order to increase performance. This will impact on gameplay since your opponents will see you before you can spot them.\n          o Try checking the Alternative Spawn Interface which will give you a black background when you bring up the spawn interface while playing instead of keeping the game view in the background. This improves the mouse sense in that menu on slower machines.\n          o Try reducing your Video Resolution to 640x480 in the Video menu. The lower the resolution, the easier it is for your computer to run the game.\n          o From the Video menu you can try to lower your Color Depth from 32 to 16 bit by picking your desired resolution with the color depth of 16 (800x600x16).\n\n    * You can try adjusting the sound settings.\n          o To reach the video settings:\n                + From the Main Menu select Options.\n                + Select Sound.\n          o You can try to lower your audio quality by checking the 11khz checkbox.\n          o Also test with lowering the number of channels used to 24 or 16.\n          o Systems with 128MB of RAM should always use 11khz.\n          o You can try to lower your sound detail to Medium or Low. This will prioritize sounds harder so that only the core sounds of the game get played.\n          o From the Sound menus second page you can activate Hardware Acceleration given that your soundcard supports this. This should improve your performance.\n\n\nupdate your drivers thats the first thing you should do:\nhttp://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_93.71.html\n\nHere you will find the latest drivers for your card\n\n\nAnd if all this doesnt help conntact EA games tehnical support by clicking this link:\n\nhttp://uk.electronicarts.se/pages/3673/\n\nI hope this will help \n\nGood luck

What kind of hardware are you running it with?  Sims 2 has some of the highest requirements of any game in the industry.  If you can, give some of the following information:\n\nCPU Speed\nSystem RAM\nVideo Card Make and RAM\n\nIf your computer is not at least 2 GHz, 256 Megs of free RAM, and a 128 Meg video card (or higher), it will be slugish.  The only thing you can do to make it faster is to upgrade your system, or buy a newer one.\n\nI wun it with no problems at very high resolution.  But then again, I have the following:\n\nAMD Athlon 64 3.5 GHz\n1 Gig RAM\n256 MB Ati Radeon 9550

I agree that you won't find anything that can game for under $1000, let alone game well.  If you are playing older games you can probably get away with it, but anything new and you'll be forced to play on low settings with a very bad resolution, if you can even get the game to play at all.\n\nThese are the bare minimum graphics cards you should look for to be able to game on ok settings, you won't be able to max everything out, but everything will play well. In order of performance, lowest to highest.\nNvidia GeForce Go6400\nATI Mobility Radeon X600\nNvidia GeForce Go7400\nATI Mobility Radeon X1400 \nIf you want better performance, where you can turn the settings on high, listed lowest to highest\nNvidia GeForce Go6600\nATI Mobility Radeon X700\nNvidia GeForce Go7600\nATI Mobility Radeon X1600\nNvidia GeForce Go7700\nNvidia GeForce Go7600GT \n\nand now for the best of the best, monsters, you won't find these in anything that is close to mobile though.  These are only in desktop replacement notebooks that need constant power because they are so power hungry.\nIn order lowest to highest\nNvidia GeForce Go7800\nATI Mobility Radeon X1800\nNvidia GeForce Go7900GS\nNvidia GeForce Go7800GTX\nATI Mobility Radeon X1800XT\nNvidia GeForce Go7900GTX\nNvidia GeForce Go7950GTX \nThe next gen of mobile graphic is just around the corner though,  with the latest direct X 10, and support for everything in vista.  You'll just have to wait a few months for these.\nA better budget for a mobile gaming system is more around $1500 on the very low end.  It's very much worth it to save up, instead of dropping a grand on something that doesn't do what you want it to.
