Does it have an AGP slot?
Look at where your current card is plugged in, and see if the slot is inline with the PCI slots, or further toward the front. |

If it's AcerPower S260 or S280, it should have an AGP slot, so you could install a GeForce 7600GS or similar card, guaranteed to run Sims 2 without lag.

I have no clue and i cant open my pc up atm... Is there a site that can read it for me? so if i got PCI i cant run the sims 2?
Also i dunno if the Pc store out town has a Nvidea chip or w/e But i might just go match my pc up with one at the shop. And i'll ask em there...? Also I have a 32mb Graphic card with 3D Aceleration and Sims 2 asks for that... But when i installed it it laged like hell and has bad graphics.... must be my SiS product? My name for my Card is "SiS 661FX/GX Mirage Graphics" Last edited by Bloodless; 10-23-2007 at 10:25 PM.. |

You can probably see the necessary information by running (Start -> Run...) dxdiag or msinfo32.
The SiS graphics chip is very slow and this probably won't help much, but the latest driver for it is here: http://www.sis.com/download/download....php?id=155942 |

PCI cards can run it if they're good enough.
GeForce 5200 is also very slow, a 6200 one would be a lot better choice. See So you only have PCI slots and want to game? |

We have PCI and the Sims runs like super awesome. You should be able to run it with mucho power to spare!
