    I'd use a ASUS G50vt. I currently have that PC and Sims2 and Sims3 with all the expansions work great. Plus it plays other great games like Alice:Madness Returns. So if you consider this, you can get the PC for a steal on Ebay. And other things.

    Maxis has released information on the system requirements for "The Sims 2." If you have a T&L capable video card with at least 32 MB of video RAM (such as nvidia GeForce 2 or better or ATI Radeon 7000 or better) then you need at least:

    800 MHz processor

    256 MB RAM if Windows XP

    At least 3.5 gigs of free hard drive space

    If you have a non-T&L capable video card (such as TNT2, Intel, or Rage for example) then you need at least:

    2.0 GHz processor

    256 MB RAM if Windows XP

    128 MB RAM if Windows 98, Windows ME, or Windows 2000

    At least 3.5 gigs of free hard drive space

    Recommened video cards (and the more video memory the better):

    ATI Radeon 9800 Pro

    Nvidia Geforce 4

    Thats for sims 2

    SIMS 3 :

    FOR WINDOWS XP

    2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent

    1 GB RAM

    you seem to have used to term "best" rather loosely. So I went in terms of being able to play it on higher graphic settings and not costing an arm and a leg considering the specs. Here you are!
