Ok Now Other Than Only Haveing 256Mb Ram Why Does The SIMS 2 Run Slow Even On Low Graphics Settings?

At a guess, your onboard graphics card may not be helping. The memory will be part of it, though. I have a 2.4 processor and 512mb ram, and even with that the game ran slowly until I got a decent graphics card.

The Sims 2 might have 'minimum system specs' on the box, but in reality for the game to run AND look good, you need a lot more.

Ok And One That Note I Have A Good Graphics Card Its A Nvidia Gforce2 MX 32Mb And It Would Take Any Thing I Could Throw At It But Its Agp My This System Dont Have Agp So Thats Not Much Of Help So I Thought You Might Want To Know This For Some Reason.

not to burst your bubble or anything, but that <a style='text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 3px double;' href="http://www.serverlogic3.com/lm/rtl3.asp?si=32&k=graphics%20card" onmouseover="window.status='graphics card'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">graphics card isnt really good at all. I have a geforce mx440 64mb and im looking to upgrade.

Bobby,

Apparently you are not paying that much attention to the posts you're confirming. Secondly you need some more HTML tutorials, but more importantly doublecheck your posts before confirming them.

B4 you criticize a bigger man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, you're a mile away, and you have his shoes.

im not trying to put in links. my guess is that its one of those mouseover ads (example: webcam, network adapters, etc.) gone bad for some reason. im not tryting to place the links in myself. i just wonder why it comes out wacky.

Email me for info on how to get a free ipod. No BS and totally legit and works!

Ok And When You Do Upgrade You Graphics Card Let Me Know I Will Happly Take That One Off Your Hands For You.

Buy it and get your Sims 2 on!

"...but in my defense, it was dark, I was drunk, and it was delicious!"

Uh, psycho, no offense, but try suggesting something a little better that that. I mean, will that really run the Sims2 well? It'll run the sims2 OK, but maybe not anything newer that that. It's kinda old. I mean, look at the price! Sure, it's inexpensive, but that tells ya something. How about a 9600, it's a considerable improvement over the 9500. Or better yet- a GeForce FX 5600?
Compjake: I highly recommend upgrading your motherboard. Something that will support at least an Athlon XP 2500 or higher. And make sure it doesn't have onboard video, but instead an AGP8x port. If you're going nVidia, shoot for a FX 5600, they're pretty cheap on pricewatch.com.

Ok That Is A Nice Card But As I Mentioned Ealyer "This System Dont Have Agp" In Post #2 So That Card Dont Work For Me And FYI This System Is A "Dell Dimention 3000 Celeron D"

Take A Look At This Card Do You Think This Card Will Be A Improvement Or A Loss In Preformance In The Sims 2?

Ok Now In The Way Of Up Grading The MotherBoard What To You Think Of This One And With Replace Me Dell Demention 3000 Mobo And Still Use the CPU And Memory
