Question about System Requirements
I'm trying to see if The Sims 3 will work on my laptop here, it's pretty new, and I think it should work. When the system requirements were first posted, I felt pretty bummed when I saw a minimum 2.4 GHz processor requirement for Vista systems.
But then I went to The Sims 3 forums and saw this on a forum post:
"The 2.0Ghz / 2.4Ghz processor speed - The processing speed (2.0Ghz for XP and 2.4Ghz for Vista) are for the minimum single-cored Pentium 4 processors. This does not mean your Dual Core, Triple Core or Quad Core processors have to be that speed. The required speed for multi-cored processors is 1.8Ghz."
I have an AMD Turion Dual-Core processor at 2.0 GHz. I also have an NVIDIA GeForce 8200 which is not listed. I'm not really hardware savvy, and I can't post on the official Sims 3 forum, so I was hoping someone could tell me if I should buy this game or not.
