My sister wants to get The Sims 3 when it comes out next week but her PC can only just about handle The Sims 2 with all the graphic settings turned low. She doesn't use her PC much for anything else apart from surfing the net / the odd homework piece on word or on powerpoint. Here are her specs:
AMD 3500+ 2.2GHZ Single Core
1 GB PC3200 DDR
6200 TurboCache Nvidia
1280x1048 Monitor
Sorry if I've missed anything useful or important out. I had my eyes on upgrading the video card as I view that as the main culprit. Some potential graphic cards I thought looked okay for my budget (£50 max).
Sapphire HD 3650 512MB DDR2 Dual DVI TV Out PCI-E Graphics Card - Ebuyer ATI HD3650
Gainward HD 3850 512MB DDR2 VGA DVI HDCP HDMI PCI-E Graphics Card - Ebuyer ATI HD3850
ASUS HD 4650 1GB DDR2 VGA DVI HDMI out PCI-E Graphics Card - Ebuyer ATI HD4650
Suggestions please, many thanks!
