Hello I am soon upgraded my graphic card and when i do this should i be able to run sims 2 good? without lag?

My pc specs right now are;

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"

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_step1.php?id=155942

Well It says PCI Bus.... So sense its PCI i cant run sims 2? I clicked Conflict/Sharing thingy and it said PCI Bus ontop and has the graphic card name lil below it. I typed in msinfo32 btw. Also i went and found a good and cheap card in my budget, but i dunno if my pc can use it, can someone help me? i'm newb to this stuff. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2148789&CatId=319

It says its PCI, also i'm canadain so i dunno what todo with this site to buy xD Also there is a video there thats says, this is a nice video card if your running a Dell,Acer, etc etc and i got acer xD Someone said this is a good card for 2002 or previous and mines 2002.

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?

 

[Bloodless]

I dunno if i can order it online

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