I may invest in it all again and become addicted all over :yes:
That's annoying. I can happily wait, but the game better be good when it arrives
I was so looking forward to it! Game said '17 days' now, its jumped to 121 !
Hopefully the third series of the game will let you do 'more' when your in game, instead of having to travel to different lots, but that means a hungry game!
Nows a better time then never to upgrade your computer!
Ram costs like £9 per gb atm
Husband reckons that it's all set to go, but EA are worried about credit crunch preventing people buying it, so they are holding out, drumming up a bit more interest and seeing if the financial situation has improved any by June...
Monserrat, there's a Sims 3 website with screenshots... www.thesims3.ea.com
I haven't got the slightest clue what you do though, plus I figured I would be a little sad to buy extra GB just to play a game. If I had a friend who knew lots about PC's I would probably consider it, but I don't :grump:
If your that worried about it, let the website do it for you

Choose Scan my system
I've done that before, I think it said it was something like £16 to upgrade more RAM but does it like send you stuff in the post or do you download it?
No, basicaly they send you something that looks like this...

Then you just slot it inside your computer and hey presto!
RAM is physical m'dear. They look like circuit boards. You can't 'download' them :-)
Pirrratteee
I'm currently playing the Sims 2 till Sims 3 comes out, I've got a nice little family with a dog
I didn't know the old men could still work the magic with a adult...
Ugh! I was running on my laptops battery and Vista decided to put it to sleep because the battery was low! Then when you resume from sleep the game has crashed!!
3 years ago when was new to WoW, I was playing one of their dungeons one night. In mid-fight, I accidently hit the sleep key on my keyboard. The computer of course went to sleep. I hit the power key and within 10 seconds, I was back in the dungeon fight. None of the other players in the dungeon noticed it :-D
If I took the plunge and did buy more RAM for my computer would the game then definitely work?
The system requirements are:
*Vista (Service Pack 1)
Processor: Pentium IV 2.4 GHz / Athlon XP 2400+
Memory: 1.5 GB
Graphics: GeForce FX 5900 / Radeon 9500
Graphics Ram: 128 MB
I have Vista and my computer has the following:
Model: Aspire T180
Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 x2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ 2.20 GHz
Memory (RAM): 767 MB
System Type: 32-Bit Operating System
Also, apart from allowing the Sims 3 to possibly play, what else are the benefits of having more RAM, does it make the PC faster or anything?
As you can tell I don't know much about computers but your reply will be much appreciated
Your specs seam fine, but I'd get some more ram to be on the safe side
