The Sims 2 and a New Computer Questions...?
Okay i am buying a new computer... I have a mac notebook right now and i wanted a PC also but a desktop. I decided on getting a Alienware Area-51

Here is everything in it...
-Processor
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E8500 3.16GHz 6MB Cache 1333MHz FSB
-Cooling system
Alienware® High-Performance Liquid Cooling
-Graphics Processors
Single 1GB NVIDIA® GeForce® 9800 GX2
-Memory
4GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1066MHz - 2 x 2048M
-OS
Genuine Windows® XP Media Center Edition 2005 – DirectX 9 Only!
Includes AlienRespawn v1.0 Recovery Software(have to pay more for XP i don't want to mess with vista)
-System Software
500GB SATA 3Gb/s 7,200RPM 16MB Cache

Okay 1st off will this computer have some weird reason on why it won't work with the sims 2?
And i was hoping this computer would last up to 4 years at least...

Thanks everyone for your help... I just really don't want to buy a computer and it not work the way

Why does it not run? It should work fine, assuming you have the latest version of Sims?

hiya kelly the computers spec you have posted is more than enought to run sims 2

sims 2 recommended requirements:
2.0 GHz processor
256 MB RAM if Windows XP
128 MB RAM if Windows 98, Windows ME, or Windows 2000
At least 3.5 gigs of free hard drive space
Nvidia geforce 4 or Ati Radeon 9800 or better

the pc that your buying has a nice spec and will easily run this game ^^

also in case you're interested it will also run sims 3 with ease
