I know this doesn't exactly belong on this board but I had no clue where to put it. I'm not exactly the brightest when it comes to computer lingo but my old laptop just broke and I need to buy a new one. I'm looking for the cheapest possible that will still be able to play the sims 3. The one I'm looking at is here... (add http and www) walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10575193&povid=cat4070-env201974-module202898-rLink5#BVQAWidgetID. I can't post a link until I have 5 posts, sorry. It has all the system information but I don't understand any of it. If anyone has the time to check it out for me, I would definitely appreciate it. Also, if it doesn't work do you know of any cheap laptops that will? (I'm a senior in high school so obviously, I don't have the money for any laptop over $1000 and even that is pushing it. Also it has to be a laptop because I'll need to take it to college with me in the fall.)

Thanks a ton!!!

The sims 3 needs like a 2.4 GHz and that's only a 1.6. Sadly I don't think you could run it on that computer.

This should be posted in the Computer Hardware and Software thread. You can find the system requirements in this thread or on the Sims 3 site

EDIT: Also you can search the Computer Hardware and Software thread, that should be helpful, I'm sure someone posted a question similar to this.

Edit #2: Also here's a message from Callistra (moderator of the Computer thread I linked you to) that should help.
