HI, somethign in my computer blew up or something and now it works extrmely slow. Im sure I will be getting a new computer pretty soon, but I don't know what kind to get. All I know is i want to be able to play the SIms2 series completely well without having any problems. THe computer i have now never quite worked right with that game, it froze, lagged, etc. I also wnat to be able to play the new games that have been coming out like Civilizations at war.
I don't really know too well how much better a certain graphics caqrd or harddrive or prossessor is compared to others, I just want the best i can get without spending a crapload on a computer. If anyone can help that would be extremely helpful and very nice.

THe comp i have now which is probably going to die soon has these things in it...

Windows XP Home edition v. 2002
AMD Athlon(tm)XP 2800+ prssessor
2.08 GHz, 512 MB of Ram
GeforceFX 6200 AGP 258 MB grapgics card
directX 9.0c

so im not sure how much better the computer selling today are than this..
