Can my wife play sims 2 on a MSI Wind?

[Build it Myself]

atom chip, 2gb ram, onboard graphics, everyone has seen these things...

anyway, I was gonna get sims 3 for her, but it'll only run on my computer, and since she's not taking over my laptop, I offered to get the sims 2 pack...

she doesn't need great graphics, her last game was restaurant empire and she loved it...the game just has to have normal framerates...

so would sims 2 work for her on this machine?

I doubt it would run that great. I'll probably run... not sure. The combination of low res + crappy graphics might cancel eachother out.

try it first...who knows.

I wouldn't think it would run good though.

I don't really want to buy a game to "try it" when I'm buying sims 3 in a week...that's why I was curious if someone knew if this would play sims 2...maybe someone that has a Wind or Eee Pc or something similar with a atom chip and OB graphics

That's what I thought because she could run it at 800xwhatever and doesn't need any special filtering, no AA obviously, low textures...and restaurant empire played for her like I said, but I don't know if they have the same system demands (which isn't saying much)

Thanks again

Very poorly.

The sims 1 is better suited for that hardware.

I don't think it would be playable.

LOL that poor wind would die once you got it fully on there.

Just get all the sims 1s she will love it, it will be cheap and it will look half decent because of the small screen too.

it won't run.

for shits and giggles i tried portal on my wind and it was a slideshow on ultra low settings.

it just can't push anything that requires significant 3d rendering.

atom cpu pretty much sucks ass for anything other than the most basic use.

Thanks for the replies...I guess it's pretty obvious that she won't be playing this and I shouldn't bother getting it.

Thanks again for the quick info.

sims 1?

It won't run, even at low res and low details. Perhaps you could get the Asus N10, its 9300 IGP would handle it alright, but for its 800 dollar price tag you might as well buy a real laptop.
