    yeah the only thing I use my Comp. guys is for this ONE game...it's not a hard core crazy game like Doom 3...it's the sims 2. The only thing I am going to upgrade is video card and ram that's it sry. But if I am only going to play one game and I only use my comp for internet and word processor and I upgrade my vid card and ram will I have smooth gameplay?

    Right now, you're barely making the minimum system specs, and we all know those are not what to aim for if you're gonna get a satisfying experience.

    You need at least:

    800mhz cpu
    256mb RAM
    T&L capable video card (7000/VE or better)

    You will need to get the best cpu your motherboard supports (if you could provide us with what motherboard you have, we could tell you what it supports), another 256mb of RAM and an ati 9200.

    This is, imho, the very least you should aim for.
