What Kind of Computer you run sims2 on?
Tenshii~Akari:
"Crappy" ol' (new) laptop. :lol:
Type: Dell Inspiron 6400/E1505
Age: 1 year
Video Card: ATI Mobility Radeon X1300 (Which is dying slowly... but quickly enough to get on my nerves. :x )
CPU Speed: 1.6GHz
Physical RAM: 2GB (This does absolutely NO justice to speed for some reason... :crybaby:)
Compared to my old PC (Compaq Presario AMD Athon XP 2800+), this thing is a lot slower than what I'm used to. At least the laptop has a better graphics card than the PC. :angel:
As for CC, it depends. If I even build an actual house with furniture in it, I'll get random "blue refresh screens" and an occasional glitch-up with graphics. God forbid if the house is above one story... I can't even enjoy playing the game like I used to. I miss the good ol' days... :?

OMG :lol: I can't believe people are playing this game with their laptops. It must be lagging like hell
Tenshii, your poor laptop :P
Tenshii~Akari:
It actually runs pretty well animation wise... not too choppy at all unless I'm on extremely huge lots, but it's definitely not savvy for any type of movie making or anything. For those with high-end PCs... think of my normal speed as fast as the "slowmotion 1 (or 2)" cheat on your normal lots. :(
The only few reasons I got the laptop:
1.) Because my old one's screen was so dim, I might as well had been typing with my eyes shut.
2.) My old one's earphone plug broke, disabling me from hearing any sound externally or internally. :smt120
3.) So that I could actually play Sims 2 on the go, and not be bored on overnight trips with the band. Can't take the home PC, now can I? :tongue3: (I refuse to have their sort of fun. Sometimes, it ends up being illegal activities I wish to stay very far away from. :lol:)
Otherwise, I would've begged for a gaming PC instead. :smile bi: Too bad I'm broke now. :lol:

I'm running on:
Dell Dimension E510, Win XP.
Age: 1yr, 2-3months. (Got it on 9/14/06)
Intel Pentium D 2.66GHz.
Memory: 1022MB Ram
Video card: ATI Radeon X600
Seems to work pretty well on this system.

i expect to see alot of "non-gaming" PC's in this post....
Remember that sims 2 was released in 2004 so theoretically 2 year old systems should be able to run the base game smoothly provided they meet the minimum requirements.
