i want to get sims 2 but does my pc have a graphics card?

how do i know if i have a graphics card, or the right graphics card to be able to use sims 2? HELP PLEASE!

Update:

thanks virex, i did the test & i passed everything apart from the video card bit. do i actually need to pass that bit, or will the game still work without it?

    Of course. ALL computors these days have a graphics card, but not all of them have good ones.

    Now, what you need to do is go to my computor, right click, then click on properties and then you should see a list of computor hardware and software that your computor has.

    My $800 computor has Nvidia GE Force 6 series! Good, but not the best. Any computor should be able to run Sims 2!

    You must have a Graphics Card or you would not be able to use your monitor. You can find out what your Graphics Card is by going to Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager.

    You can also find out the minimum requirements for Sims 2 on this Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sims_2

    Choose The Sims 2 from the -Select Product- drop tab.

    The site will check to see if your computer has a good enough graphic card to run the game.

    i'm somewhat a working laptop or laptop Geek, and that i think of that your concern may be which you have no longer have been given Administrator priveledges on your laptop, so which you will might desire to enable them for ur person account to place in it. Or, you may no longer have the the perfect option video reveal resouloution. attempt changing it. it would merely be which you have a undesirable disk.
