Hey guys!
I'm a complete Sims geek, and I actually bought a new laptop in order to play the game on Monday. (Thank god for xmas sales!)
It REACHES all the specs, minus the cpu and cpu speed. I'm a total doofus when it comes to game specs, but using the canyourunit website, it says that

"   
CPU
Minimum: (XP) 2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent; (Vista/7) 2.4 GHz P4 processor or equivalent [If built-in graphics chipsets then 2.6 GHz Pentium D CPU, or 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo, or equivalent.]
You Have: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 900 2.20GHz"

and the CPU Speed
"CPU Speed
Minimum: (XP) 2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent; (Vista/7) 2.4 GHz P4 processor or equivalent [If built-in graphics chipsets then 2.6 GHz Pentium D CPU, or 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo, or equivalent.]
You Have: 2.19 GHz"

As I've said, I'm a complete tool when it comes to pc game specs, but I've been informed, (rightly or wrongly), that a low cpu speed will just make the game a wee tad slow. I'm okay with a wee bit of lagging, but not a major amount. Heres the rest of my system specs for good measure-

Model-Dell [email protected]
Processor-Intel (R)Celerom(R) CPU 900 2.20GHZ 2.19 GHz

ANd the game specs-

THe laptop is a dell inspiron 1545 on WiNdows seven,if that helps. So whats the verdict? Do you think I COULD play it?
