The integrated graphics card might give you a problem. It is known historically that they do not work as well. Anything graphics heavy (ie Sims 3), it won't handle it.

For your processor, I think it'd be able to run it, simply because of the 2.3GHz. Will it run it at high settings? Most likely not, but you can at least get it to play.

Yea i dont have to get the intergrated anymore Tongue but Im looking at better computers.. not with intergrated Tongue the thing im not liking is every single computer on dell has Windows 7.. well mostly all of them and im not really that interested in it. Tongue I cant find a computer that will actually be able to run it well.. Any suggestions on where to look?

Windows 7 isn't that bad actually (I upgraded my computer). Problem is that since Win7 IS out, you'll have to do a lot of searching around to get a past operating system.

Anyways, just keep looking at desktops on Dell.com. I know that some of them should have the option to install a different operating system.
