"E.A was smart to make the Sims 3 accessible to a extremely wide range of
hardware. It seems almost an understated part of the The Sims series'
massive success: with such low hardware requirements, people who otherwise
might not be PC gaming fans have the chance at playing one of the most
inventive and fun titles of the year."


Thanks for any links,
