Hi,

Got Sims 2 yesterday, running on XP got all system requirements, but it is very slow and very jerky. Do you think a new Graphics card would help or do you have any other suggestions. Have at moment S3 Graphic proSavage KM133 but the games people recommend ATI Radeon 7000 series, Nvidia Quadro or Geforce2 or better. Has to be T&L capable. As a novice would I be able to install graphics card myself?

Thanks.

Hi,

Installing a new graphics card is pretty easy but you do need be careful when handling components.

Here's an example of how it's done - http://reviews-zdnet.com.com/4520-3118_16-5023982.html

Okay, I have a radeon 7000, but it isn't T&L compatible. Even on 500MHz system it's not very jerky.

ProSavage graphics cards are not very flexible, and you can get a Radeon 7000 @
www.spacecomputers.com for as little as £30
