    Yeah it should make it a hell of alot faster. When you do the scan it shows you the max amount of memory that you computer can hold and a little graph to show you the performance increase :)

    Your specs seam fine, but I'd get some more ram to be on the safe side :)

    Seem as I have till June now then, I might just consider it! Thanks for your help :)

    I was until I realised i didn't have enough RAM! At least it won't effect my revision now though and by the time it comes out I will have all summer to play, unless I get a job. I just need to save up my pennies for some more RAM.

    Was going to Pre-Order it if it was still coming out this week :(

    Does anyone notice on the Game.co.uk website they are offering two versions?

    'The Sims 3'

    'The Sims 3 Special Edition'

    What is the difference?

    Says 103?

    If you pre order now, do they debit your card now or when the ordereds sent out? I.e on the day of the release

    Not sure about Game, but Amazon won't charge you for a pre-order until it's dispatched...

    Also, I think the Speacial Edition version has a few extra bits like downloads and a more detailed guide for the game than the one which will come with it. I'm not bothering with the special edition, just going for the standard edition and getting the Prima guide, which are always really good :)

    Well I popped into Game yesterday to ask about Pre-Ordering and they swiped my rewards card and said they've put one aside for me. I asked about the special edition and he said that all he knows is that its a 'Game Exclusive' and I was like... Normal ones fine! :)

    Brief review:
    As boring as the other two. It's the computer equivilent of a yoyo, a lot of effort for not really much reward.

    I never bothered to get more RAM or whatever it was I needed.

    I'll wait for Franki's review, men tend to not appreciate The Sims as much :p

    Try installing it on both and see which runs better? There may be a way to save the user files to the same location so you could run it off mac or windows in the same game world.
