Title: computer Post by: lexi9803 on June 25, 2010, 01:43:37 am im thinking about buying a laptop and wondering if this will run the sims 3 base game with nice graphics and fairly fast
Processor & Memory: * Intel® Atom™ Processor N450 (1.66GHz) * 512KB L2 Cache * 667MHz Front Side Bus * Intel Mobile NM10 chipset * 1GB DDR2 SDRAM single channel (667MHz) Drives: * 250GB (5400RPM) SATA Hard Drive * NO OPTICAL DRIVE INCLUDED Graphics & Video: * 10.1" WSVGA display (1024 x 600) * Intel GMA500 Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator * Integrated webcam Title: Re: computer Post by: caffeinated.joy on June 25, 2010, 02:08:48 am Well, let's take a look at the minimum requirements for the Sims 3 base game.
2 GHz processor with XP, 2.4 GHz with Vista. 1 gb RAM with XP, 1.5 GM RAM with Vista 6.1 gb of hard drive space with at least 1 gb of additional space for custom content and saved games A 128 mb video card with support for pixel shader 2.0 This laptop's processor doesn't meet minimum requirements and only 1 gb of RAM is definitely not enough. Windows XP uses a minimum of 512 mb to run while Vista uses a minimum of 1 GB; therefore, you won't have 1 gb of RAM to spare for the game to run. That spells lots of crashing to the desktop. Your video would work, but not smoothly. No optical drive included? You might have a hard time playing the game without a cd/dvd drive. In short? This laptop won't work for Sims 3.
