    As posted, just about anything can run The Sims. I would suggest completing the FAQ in the What Should I Buy forum so we can help you better.

    I'd also invite you to take a look at our Articles section for truckload of useful info on just about everything.

    I know that the GMA950 will run Sims 2 at a good resolution and everything on high, just without the smooth edges on. But I would still get a dedicated graphics card just to future proof your notebook.

    You never know when the Sims 3 comes out and you gotta buy a new laptop, you may not hafta if you get a good graphics card now :p

    Or ya may still have to, but it would be good to future proof...
