:sad4:Ladies and Gentlemen of the forum. I'm really in need here. The more I try to find a computer that will play my SIMs correctly, and not absolutely KILL my purse, I get lost in a see of garbage. It seems impossible to find one for under $650, with all the requirements to play the game to where it stands right now and support the next few expansion packs. Should i give up hope? is the task impossible. Can anyone help me figure out what computer I can get. I found one at HP. com but it would be OCTOBER before I could get it. Not to mention that it would have to get shipped, and I have no confidence in that process any more.

If you guys have anyclue...please let me know what I can get that would Work. I miss my SIMming. Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,
Illy:sad4:

Sometimes, you just have to be patient and save your pennies for what you want, rather than settle for what you can afford now. That's what I did and, as hard as it was to wait, I don't regret it one bit.

A very detailed guide along with tips and tricks on hardware for Sims 2 is on MATY.
I don't know the take on prices in that thread, but maybe you'll find some help there.
