Are you wondering if Seasons will run on your computer?

[XPTL297]

I will sure read up to puke before I buy any new Expansion. My systems will sure pass but I'm much more worried about what Seasons or further will ruin in My gaming way.
Not sure if my second comp will support the EP but anyway I would risk it first if analysing a new add-on. I'm so satisfied with the result I got up now that risks for me are really risks.

wow thanks!!!

I did not  bother running the test..why because I know my  processor is too slow at 1.3 MHZ.... Everything else would pass..I looked into replacing and/or Double Clocking the processor.. but so far I have not had to...

I have Seasons and have played it for 24 hrs... yes the game runs a bit slow and occasionally freezes if I have too many Sims on a lot or try to give too many commands.... but I already know that I need a new computer... I am just waiting til the get the bugs out of Vista.......

Thanks for the link.... but with all the puter problems I have had in the past year I am very familair with my hardware and software..

What a relief!  My laptop will still run with Seasons installed.  :smile bi: Thanks for the info, Sleepy.

Well it says I failed with the graphics card, but Seasons still runs on my laptop fine, even with all settings set as high.
*shrugs* it can lag a little at times though.

Too bad I can't update it though on a laptop.

Poison, my desktop worked with an intel chip. It didn't lag or anything. I upgraded anyways cause I got some money to spend on me but it worked just fine.

It works, lags a bit, but other than that it's good. The lag may be from so many of my downloads and what not. I know my desktop actually manages to handle the game worse, but then again that doesn't matter because my desktop is dead at the moment. Oh, and I also can't make videos on my laptop but it takes a lot of work anyways so it doesn't bother me any since I suck at them.

Do you think I should download the newer one or leave it as it is?

[gentjt]

Test accurate?  It said I failed that test but I can still plaly Season with no problems.  I wasn't worried about that test.

[hardwaretoad]

It failed to detect my SLI as well. My AMD 3800+ was at "2.01 Ghz rated at 5.70 Ghz"... that seems to be stretching things just a "little" to say the least. Oh well, still a handy thing to give peeps the basic knowledge of what's lurking in your tower. Thanks...

[meanalessia]

very useful, for my silly pc =) .....thx

[meanalessia]

uh ggrat, i've already found that my pc would not run seasons ç__ç

[Sein]

I'm gonna need this for the Sims 3... that's for sure!
