Is there any way I can get this stuff on my PC free? I have a windows XP 2002. I was trying to play the sims 3

I need

CPU
(XP) 2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent; (Vista) 2.4 GHz P4 processor or equivalent [If built-in graphics chipsets then 2.6 GHz Pentium D CPU, or 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo, or equivalent.]


Video Card
128 MB Video Card, with support for Pixel Shader 2.0 (NVIDIA GeForce FX 5900 or above " ATI Radeon 9500 or above " Intel GMA 3-series or above)


Video RAM

128 MB

Pixel Shader version
2.0


Free Disk Space
6.1 GB of hard drive space with at least 1 GB of additional space for custom content and saved games.
 
oh crap. So I'm better off buying a laptop. There is no way My mom will let me do anything to this PC.

So, next question lol. Where can I get a cheap but good PC? like under 400 - 700
 
HP's at Wal Mart. Seriously. It's the same you'd get model for model from electronics stores like Best Buy. Just wal mart has better prices.
 
yes most stores that sell items of that value will let you do this althoug i wouldnt reccomend it as you are stuck in the contract for the fixed term in most cases and you end up paying a whole lot more money for the hardware
 
Oh wow. I'll just save and just buy it right out. Thank you so much for your help muz & setishock.
 
Would you know how to put together your own system?
because if so you can build your own and save money
Newegg is the only us parts retailer i know of i am from the UK so i dont know too many US sites but im sure some other members here can give you links to them
http://www.newegg.com/
If its just that game you wis to play then you could build a system to play that for relatively cheap i think
 
You could probably build a system that could play that game for around $300

I'm makin a quick list of stuff right now...

Keep in mind that after the mail in rebates, it should come to just under $333. That video card is an awesome deal btw. I would jump right on it if I were you. I could shave some expenses off here and there, but that's the best deal for the money.
 
I hope they fixed how resource intensive the Sims is. On highest quality, the Sims 2 runs slow on my rig (yes, the one in my sig)! This baby was playing Crysis on max at roughly 30fps so I was shocked how shitty the Sims 2 ran.
