unawesome noob politely requests advice concerning bv graphics compatability
Zazazu:
My old laptop, even though it took 40 minutes to load up the game and about 20 minutes to load a lot, had a low-end ATI card that EAxis said wouldn't run the game. It did, with no graphical display issues.
I just got a new power supply (700 watts I think) with cooling and 2 gigs more RAM for a total of four, plus a Sapphire Radeon x1650 in October. That time this year, I'm upgrading the processor (currently, there's not much better than mine that isn't ludicrously expensive) and the main hard drive. Not the secondary--I barely even use that thing.

How did you end up with such a nice processor, but no graphics?
It's the Sony way. They had others with better cards but less ram or whatever... they are dumb. Plus I wasn't buying, and my old one had died about a week before it was time to start writing my term papers that semester... I was really just happy to see a computer that turned on. Playing the Sims was of secondary interest, I didn't even think of it until 6 months later. I had forgotten I'd had it because I hadn't even attempted playing it since before college (yeah, why does a shit five year old desktop do something a new laptop won't? DUMB.)
My major confusion stems from the fact that it's running FINE right now, with all the EPs, a gig of CC, and a relatively well-developed Pleasantview that has five sub-hoods. No excessive loading times, medium to high graphics settings... but no BV. Lame.
LadyArgonna:
Funny, I have a 6150 LE and the only problem I've ever experienced was a random game crash after about forty to sixty minutes of playing - that was fixed by a driver upgrade that B suggested. I never got to thank him, because evidently he's been swallowed up in that hellhole known as real life...
I am happily planning my next computer, though, and it will definitely have an ATI Radeon with moar memory.

*Gasp* What do you actually use your computer for? That sounds.....overkill. I envy.

There is no overkill. Only "open fire" and "I need to reload".
