I have The Sims 2 and every single expansion pack out so far. I'm getting a new computer in September, and one of my reasons for doing so is that the computer I have now runs the games very slowly. The computer also has a weak graphic card, I'd just rather buy a whole new computer than add RAM or any of that. For those who have all the EPs installed, how much RAM do you have, and how does the game run?
The box for The Sims 2 says you need 256MB of RAM and 8x or faster CD/DVD drive. On Seasons, it says you need 256MB or more (512MB if other EPs are installed, which with me, they will be).
I was thinking of getting a new computer with 1GB of RAM. Will that be enough? Thanks.

Yes, 1GB is plenty for the Sims. As you add expansion packs the game takes up more space on the hard disk, so maybe you're running low on disk space, rather than RAM.
With your new computer be sure to get a real graphics card (not integrated video) and you'll be fine. For the Sims you don't need a harcore gaming card- an entry level card like the GeForce 7300GT doesn't cost much and handles the game nicely.
I do recommend 2 GB of RAM if your new computer will be running Vista- the new operating system is more memory-hungry than good ol' Windows XP.

each and every thing is advantageous, different than fot the photographs card, i could recommend getting a minimum of a 128MB card. My card is 256MB and that i've got 768 MB of Ram and it nonetheless lags a splash while the lot is in basic terms too enormous. yet my processor is slower than yours so in case you in basic terms improve the photographs card, you should be advantageous.

1gb is ample enough for that old game engine.(unless there are a lot of background task .)
