The sis mirage2 is not very fast at all though. http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/imageview.php?image=910
It's the bottom one, it's less than half as fast as the slowest agp card listed, the 64bit fx5200, which is pretty bad itself.
then it's a good deal, since it's upgradeable to agp graphics. You could get a cheap graphics card, like this, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814164008
and install in it and it would run the game well, but with the standard graphics(sis mirage2), it will barely play any games well.
A dell that's upgradeable will cost at least $800usd.
nana im having that problem now. i love to play the sims2 myself. the game will play but it freezes and im not able to add the extras like family fun stuff,or glamour life stuff, it causes the wall to blink red and black.
