The specs on Sims 2 is min 800mhz processor, 256Mb ram and a DirectX 9 video card, i.e. Radeon 7200 or GEForce2 or greater. I was all set on my daughters with the exception of the video card where she is still using a Voodoo3. I was able to get it installed and running on my wifes computer but I still had issues since EA has blacklisted certain CD Copying programs and refused to run until I uninstalled some of them, talk about big brother But it's running and my daughter is happy, although my wife has to fight her for computer time, I'm sure she will ok an upgrade very soon that way though to get her own PC back :rollside:
