Will sims3 work on my laptop?

i have an Intel GMA X4500MHD as my videocard. will it work? my last laptop's screen malfunctioned and my brother blames it on account of me playing sims2 a lot on it. so i'm scared that playing sims3 will do the same to my current laptop...



other specs: 4GB RAM, vista 64-bit OS service pack 2, with processor Intel (R) core (tm)2 duo

t5800 @ 2GHz



no problem with memory space.. got more than 50GB



I tried to run a compatibility check on systemsrequirementslab.com and it gave two different results:



FIRST RESULT:

CPU

Minimum: (XP) 2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent; (Vista/7) 2.4 GHz P4 processor or equivalent [If built-in graphics chipsets then 2.6 GHz Pentium D CPU, or 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo, or equivalent.]

You Have: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5800 @ 2.00GHz

PASS



CPU Speed

Minimum: (XP) 2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent; (Vista/7) 2.4 GHz P4 processor or equivalent [If built-in graphics chipsets then 2.6 GHz Pentium D CPU, or 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo, or equivalent.]

You Have: 1.99 GHz

PASS



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: 3.8 GB

PASS

The second result is pretty much the same but it changed this part:

FAIL: Sorry, your CPU Speed does not meet this minimum requirement. It may be time to purchase a more powerful computer to make your life easier. Click the 'We Recommend' button to discover how you can.



So should I buy sims3? Help me..... I am a sims addict and i want the new sims game!!!!!!!!!!!!Will sims3 work on my laptop?Yes, it'll play alright. You'll have to lower the graphical settings of course since Intel 4500HD graphics are lower end though, and not made for anything graphic intensive



Btw, the 50 GB you mentioned in not memory, that is hard drive space (storage). Your memory is 4 GB, which is adequate for anything these daysWill sims3 work on my laptop?You will defiantly can play it if you have 2gb ram min and over 50gb free space it will work fine and if you have 2.0ghz it's pretty fast so yeah you will be able to.



Hope it helps.Will sims3 work on my laptop?Well you shouldnt really play pc games on a laptop as they are not designed to play games on. It would depend on your laptops hard drive on how much memory does Sims 3 requires but by the looks of it you have no problem there. You could play it on your laptop but just after playing it delete the cookies it gives out in your files as that is what makes the laptop glitch up :)Will sims3 work on my laptop?i think it would work ... but for games like this your'e best with a PC (computer, not a laptop)

but laptops are the things these days. its up to you, i would stick with the laptop but it would work better on pc so its up to you, you could be a millionair or somethink so you could have what ever you want....





....hope this helps!
