Electronic Arts UK Community - View Single Post - The Sims 3 Minimum Requirements/Is this computer good enough to run The Sims 3?

Hi All,

My laptop has the following configurations:

- Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor P8700 (2.53GHz, 3MB L2 Cache, 1066MHz FSB)
* Intel® GM45 Express Chipset
* Integrated Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD
* with Intel® Clear Video Technology and DVMT 5.0
- 4GB DDR3 1066MHz
- 320GB SATA HDD

and it's running WinXP SP3

I cannot run Sims3 on my laptop but it seems that GMA 4500MHD is supported. The message "no supported video graphics card detected" will appear when I start the game.

Could anyone advise what that possible reason is?

Thank you very much!
