Processor – Pentium IV 2.0 GHz / Athlon XP 2000+
Memory – 1 GB
Graphics – GeForce FX 5900 / Radeon 9500
Graphics Ram – 128 MB
These specs kind of suggest that if your computer can run The Sims 2, it will be able to run The Sims 3 as well. If you have Windows Vista installed, you will need a slightly better system, but not a pain at all. Here are the sys reqs for Vista:
Processor – Pentium IV 2.4 GHz / Athlon XP 2400+
Memory – 1.5 GB
Graphics – GeForce FX 5900 / Radeon 9500
Graphics Ram – 128 MB
Have in mind, however, that these specifications are the minimum. For a complete experience, you will probably need about double these specs. But we’ll wait until EA releases the recommended system requirements and we’ll let you know then.
