Sims 2 HELP! PLEEEASE!
I need this information as quick as I can.
My computer has 1.60GHz and 1.00 GB of RAM. I want to buy sims 2 tommorow...and they system requirements are 2.0GHz and 256MBs of RAM.
Will the 1.60 GHz work? Or do I have to buy some sort of video card? And if so what type and size?
My computer is a Dell Latitude D505 (btw!)! thanks

-----edit-----
You have the requirements wrong, they are lower
* OS: Windows 98/98 SE/Me/2000/XP
* CPU: 800MHz
* RAM: 256MB
* Disc Drive: 8x CD-ROM/DVD drive
* HDD: 3.5GB free space
* Video: 32MB DirectX 9.0 and T&L compatible
* Sound: DirectX 9.0 compatible
see, the CPU is 800MHz(1000MHz=1GHz), so you're fine. You need 2GHz only if you have an Intel Extreme Graphics or a Radeon 7000/VE Series graphics card, you can use the method below to find out if you do.

the GHz is your CPU and the GB is your RAM, it has nothing to do with your graphics/video card. The graphics card number is a number of MB next to video card. Sims 2 requires 32MB of -video RAM-. This is a very low requirement, and even without a graphics card it will probably run. To see what kind of graphics card you have, go to start, then control panel. If it says "pick a category" on top, change it on the left to "switch to classic view". Double-click display. Go to settings tab, click advanced. Go to adapter tab. The number you want is under "memory size:". If it's above 32MB, you're good. Talk to support people at best buy or something if you want to buy a graphics card, they are complex.

it should work. you are going to have to slide down all the extra quality stuff to 0, and it might get a little choppy, but you should be able to play ok.
some programs actualy wont let you instal if you dont meet the requirements though,
