Is Your Computer Compatible With Sims 3
You can now visit System Requirements Lab and run a compatibility test on your PC to see if your PC can play The Sims 3.
Here are my results. My main failure is that I have XP Service Pack 3. Even though I pass, it passes we low for some reason.
Test yours now!

roerzman:
Service pack 2 is a software requirement, service pack 3 exceeds that. It's usually the cpu. speed that's the killer. Ram or graphics card size matter little if the cpu. is to small.
missaaliyah:
I don't fail it, it just doesn't pass me high on the fact I have Service Pack 3.
Casual Dude:
Mines at the exact same place as yours on the performance graph thing missaaliyah
