Answer» i juz currently bought sims 3 for my pc but sadly the speed is like so *censored* slow.. i was wonderin whether if i need to upgrade ma speed system?? help me.. What is your processor speed, RAM, Hard Drive Capacity, Hard Drive Free Space and Video card?
If you have a pre-built computer or a laptop, please tell us its MODEL number.Hello, here are my computer details:
Service Pack 2
Intel (R)
Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.06GHz
3.07GHz, 512 MB of RAM
How do I check for my video card details? Thanks Go to Start --> Run --> Type dxdiag and press Enter.hey ther, me alr followed ur instructions but fail to look up at a video card details..
may i knoe isit e same as ey called it here graphic card too?yes but its not a term we commonly use, it seems like there isnt enough memory. I would consider getting 1gb stick. hey there, guess wat.. i dun have a graphic card..
tats why i played e game slow i guess..
tell me wat shud i do?
purchase graphic cards right on? graphics card and video card are the same thing.
regarding RAM, 512 doesn't meet the minimum; even assuming this is XP as your profile states.

seems that I would be okay if I got it. There is one thing I'm wondering if its on board or not.his Adapter is probably on-board- but that isn't unsupported nor the likely cause of his slowdown issue.
Carbon's advice is fairly clear on determining the graphics adapter, Start->Run, dxdiag and click the "Display" tab. the display adapter info should be DISPLAYED there.the poster has yet to say but I suppose it wouldnt be the main cause, but I have it were I installed the sims 2 an meet requirments but cause I used on board video it seemed to lag.yup ur quite true ma Ram is only 512MB wher as it requires more..
Bummer me..ddr ram I suppose it uses isnt that expense depending on were you GET it. tirgerdirect or geeks would have it.
