In order to load Sims 2, I need a newer computer, so I've found a Gateway. I know that the Sims 2 requires this:
If you have a T&L capable video card with at least 32 MB of video RAM then you need at least:
800 MHz processor or better
256 MB RAM if Windows XP, Windows ME, Windows 98 or Windows 2000
At least 3.5 GB of hard drive space
If you have a non-T&L capable video card (an Intel Extreme Graphics or a Radeon 7000/VE Series) then you need at least:
2.0 GHz processor or better
256 MB RAM if Windows XP, Windows ME, Windows 98, or Windows 2000
At least 3.5 GB of hard drive space
And here's what this Gateway I'm thinking of getting has:
15.4" WXGA TFT display,1.6 GHz Intel Celeron M processor 420
80 GB Serial ATA 5400 RPM hard drive,512 MB 533 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM,DVD R/RW/DVD-ROM/CD-RW/CD-ROM combo drive
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950,Integrated 6 in 1 memory card reader,Integrated Intel 802.11 a/b/g wireless networking
Centrino Duo mobile technology.Will this work

No, because it doesn't have a video card at all, so it won't work under the first scenario. And in the second one, it doesn't have a 2.0Ghz processor.

Your Intel GMA950 is basically a fancier version of Intel Extreme Graphics, and STILL does not have Hardware T&L functions. Intel simply doesn't believe in them, to the chagrin of many buyers.
