Theres a considerable difference between a FX5200 and intergrated video. Granted there are a couple of intergrated chipset that offer entry level preformance. The majority of intergrated chipsets should mearly be consider 2D video cards.

That's exactly what it is. :D

When she got too old to play with her Barbie dolls my daughter was rapt when she discovered The Sims. It's just a "grown up" version of Barbie dolls, no different at all. :p :D

Indeed I would. Unfortunately there's a gaping hole in my wallet where the money should be ....

Hmmm, well The Sims 2 isn't quite Barbie . For example, last night I created a new character, Don Vito Mussolini, who "aspires" to "romance" . In The Sims 2, they use the euphemism "whoohoo" for sex, but its pretty obvious that what Don Vito needs to do to score points, is to "score", with as many female sims as he can . These aren't my rules, that's what the game says I need to do to succeed with Don Vito . So far he's chatted up the neighbour's wife with some success and is working on the maid . Actual options available to Don Vito when interacting with the ladies include to "Hit on" the character .

Meanwhile, over at casa Buckofelli, Bruno Buckofelli pulled a smooth move in the spa pool and now his wife Sophia is pregant . The Sims 2 even shows you the delightful detail of her vomiting into the toilet once the morning sickness kicks in .

But then, maybe Barbie was always like this . . . .
