How will The Sims 3 run on my computer?
My computer matches the minimum system specs for The Sims 3, but barley. I know it needs to be higher than the minimum specs for it to run well, but im not sure how much higher it has to be. Requirements FOR WINDOWS VISTA •2.4 GHz P4 processor or equivalent •1.5 GB RAM •128 MB Video Card with support for Pixel Shader 2.0 •Microsoft Windows Vista Service Pack 1 •At least 6.1 GB of hard drive space with at least 1 GB of additional space for custom content and saved games For computers using built-in graphics chipsets under Windows, the game requires at least: •Intel Integrated Chipset, GMA 3-Series or above •2.6 GHz Pentium D CPU, or 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo, or equivalent •0.5 GB additional RAM My Computer (Some info may be unnecessary, but im not quite sure what everything is, so I put anything that may be useful) Model: HP G60 Notebook RAM: 3.0 GB Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Processor: Intel Pentium Dual Core T4200 / 2 GHz Memory: 179 GB free of 287 GB Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family Graphics Processor/Vendor: Intel GMA 4500M .Total Available Graphics Memory: 1309 MB I'm not sure how to find out what my video card is and if it works with Pixel Shader 2.0, but my computer model is HP G60-235DX if that helps

- It will run, but it won't run well with that kind of video card.
You'll have to turn the graphic settings down, so it will be blurry and chunky and still lag.
