If You Know About Computers or Laptops


Question Posted Sunday June 22 2008, 12:01 pm

I'm thinking of buying a pc laptop to play sims games on. I went to dell.com and I saw that some were much cheaper than others but there wasn't much of a difference between the gigs or the speed. Why is there such a large price difference? Can you recomend me something good to play games on but not too expensive? I need something kind of cheap.

For the Sims 2 to work, your computer must meet at least these requirements:
CPU: 800 MHz
RAM: 256 MB
HDD: 3.5 GB free space
Video: 32 MB DirectX 9.0 and T&L compatible

Not many laptops meet the third requirement, since most laptops don't come with video adapters.
