Hey There! Before i buy and install The Sims 2 on my computer, i was wondering if i had the right requirements.

i have a Dell 2350.
Pentium 4 Processor 1.80 GHz
256 MB RAM
Intel Graphic Controller/ Intel 82845 chip

is it lookin good for me? i read somewhere that it had to be 2.0 GHz, but i also read that it could be at least 1.5 GHz.

Thanks for you help!

Yep, it should work:

Quote:

The system requirements for The Sims 2 are as follows:
* 800 MHz processor
* 256 MB RAM
* Windows® XP, Windows ME, Windows 98 or Windows 2000 Operating System.
* At least 3.5 GB of hard drive space
* A T&L-capable video card with at least 32 MB of video RAM.

Supported video cards:

* ATI Radeon™ series (7000 or better)
* VE series (see note below)
* 7000, 7200, 7500
* 8500, All-In-Wonder 8500
* 9000, 9200, 9500, 9600, 9700, 9800
* X300, X600, X800

NVIDIA® Quadro™ series
* Quadro, Quadro2, Quadro4

NVIDIA GeForce series (GeForce2 and better)
* GeForce 2
* GeForce 3, 3 Ti
* GeForce 4, 4 Ti, MX 420, 440
* GeForce FX 5200, 5600, 5700, 5800, 5900, 5950
* GeForce 6600, 6800

Intel® Extreme Graphics (see note below)
* 82845, 82865, 82915

NOTE: If you have a non-T&L capable video card, such as Intel Extreme Graphics or Radeon VE series, then you need at least a 2.0 GHz processor.

More RAM could help, though.

The Sims 2 works fine on my machine; 800MHz, 512MB, GeForce FX 5200.
