Suddenly have the urge to play Sims 3 on PC. Did a test and my pc just falls short of the requirements. The website that tests the pc came back with all this stuff I don't even understand. My pc failed in just two areas.
RAM
Minimum: (XP) 1 GB RAM; (Vista/7) 1.5 GB RAM [If built-in graphics then add 0.5 GB additional RAM]
You Have: 895.2 MB
Video Card
Minimum: 128 MB Video Card, with support for Pixel Shader 2.0 (NVIDIA GeForce FX 5900 or above / ATI Radeon 9500 or above / Intel GMA 3-series or above)
You Have: GeForce 7025 / NVIDIA nForce 630a
Features: Minimum attributes of your Video Card
------- -------------Required-- --You Have
Video RAM:-----------128 MB---- 512.0 MB
3D:--------------------Yes---------Yes
Pixel Shader version:----2.0---------3.0
Now I understand the RAM issue and how to fix it but I don't understand how my video card can be insufficiant when it has more RAM tham required, has 3D and has a higher version of Pixel Shader.
I must be missing something here. Can anyone let me know?
It says I can run Spore without any issues but Im put off by the things I've read about Spore installing monitoring software on your PC. Is that true or false?
