i know the spelling is wrong. Anyways i recently downloaded sims 2. Even though i do not have the requiered amount of mhz, it still downloaded just its very slow. My cousins told me buying a video card would help improve the speed and the graphics even if my mhz isnt at the required amount. Is this true?
