Building/Upgrading a PC for TS2
Winklesim:
Righty-o then, I shall just ignore processor speed from now on. :D Thanks for the reply JM.
J. M. Pescado:
I'm not saying processor speed doesn't matter. All other things equal, a higher processor speed makes a more powerful processor. However, all other things are NOT equal. There's a lot more complicated stuff that I personally am not that well acquainted with at work here, but it's enough to say that raw processor clock speed is not the only factor at work, just like how how a weapon with a faster firing rate isn't necessarily a better gun.

I'm getting a new computer today, but the graphics card won't cut it for Sims 2. At least, I don't think so (ATI X200 Express). So, I'm just wondering what graphics card you guys think I should get. $450 is the most I'm willing to spend on one. Also, the system comes with 528 MB RAM, and I'm wondering if that's enough for Sims 2. So, if the RAM doesn't cut it, what RAM should I get?
jsalemi:
At least a gig of RAM, and at least an ATI X800, which will run you around $200 (you can put the rest of that $450 towards getting as much RAM as possible :)).
BlueSoup:
I would try to get at least 1GB of RAM.
I merged your thread with Hegelian's - lots of good info in this thread.
