| I have a 1.80 AMD Sempron with 256MB and nVIDIA GeForce 6100 on board video.
I'm thinking about doubling the ram. Would that help (can't play with the
ram I have) or should I get a 512MB stick with the 256 I have? I know more
is better, but I know very little about DDR SDRAM.

More RAM would deffinately help, but your PC isn't really a gaming PC, so
getting a better processor, Either an Athlon XP or 64, depending on the
socket, would help, and getting a graphics card would also help, do you know
what motherboard you have?

manufacturer' and 'system model'. |

It will help - a little, but you should get at least 1GB. >> Stay informed about: RAM question |

It should be enough, I've played the game on slower machines than that
and you won't notice much difference in performance between your
machine and a much faster machine as far as the Sims2 is concerned.
A better graphics card will of cource make the game look better but it
won't run faster. >> Stay informed about: RAM question |

I had the joy of talking to someone from Gateway/eMachines who told me they
would not sell me RAM unless I had a US address. I'm in Canada. I'll get
RAM. Just from a local guy. I can get 256 (I think it is) for $50. I don't
know if he has 1 ot even 2 GB >> Stay informed about: RAM question |
