Since you give no clue as to which continent you're from (your fake email address, for example), I'll presume you're from the US.

You can get a cheap GeForce FX 5200 graphics card for $55 with a $20 mail-in rebate from Newegg.com:

PNY GeForce FX 5200 Graphics Card

It is a fully-compliant DirectX 9 card and will play The Sims 2 very well.

But since you have a crap eMachine (& don't even know what CPU/RAM?), you may only have PCI slots on your board. Before you buy anything, look into your board's specs

Asus A7N8X-X
1800+ @ 8.5 x 200MHz
768MB PC3200
Asus A9550 128MB/128-bit
Gamer Edition
WinME/WinXP Pro

Ah, sorry. I've never had the “pleasure” of using an eMachine.

Before you can play The Sims 2, as jam said, make sure you have a fast enough CPU and enough RAM.

The quickest way to do that is to download Belarc Advisor. It will generate a web page report containing your CPU, RAM and motherboard details.

Post them back here.
