howdy. sorry for the long title, but this is my first post and i wanted it to show up in searches. =)
i'm addicted to the sims. however, i have an old p.o.s. computer. i'm going to purchase a new one before the end of august but the one i really want has an Integrated SIS Mirage2 Graphics with 128 MB Shared Video Memory.
now, on the sims 2 web site, it mentions the following graphics cards as supported:
- ATI RadeonTM series (7000 or better)
- Nvidia® QuadroTM series
- Nvidia® Geforce series (GeForce2 and better)
- Intel® Extreme Graphics (non-T&L; requires 2.0 GHz processor)
so, will the mirage2 be supported? it's not the same name brand, but does it show up as being like the nvidia, etc? (does it mimic the others?)
i'd hate to buy a new pc and then have to buy and install a new video card, too. that would be a pain.
thanks,
tonya
ps- the machine i'm probably going to buy is from Office Max. it's the compaq presario sr1538X-B desktop pc bundle. it's about $800.
