When I first got the Sims 2, I couldn't run it on my computer because I didn't have a video card, lol. We had just bought a new computer and the other one had a G-Force Nvidia in it. It may be only a minimal requirement, but it does work. I love the game so much but it's so slow and the graphics are a bit choppy :(. Nonetheless, I do like it. I rated it 9.5 out of 10. (or will)
