I should say though, that if you choose to devote your energy towards games, I see that as just as 'respectable' as me devoting my energy towards building a network of close friends, regardless of distance. For me, it's worth it regardless of cost or inconvenience, while sitting in front of a computer screen all day quite simply isn't. If you see sitting in front of a computer screen interacting with other people through games as the most productive and enjoyable use of your time, and it makes you happy, I can think of no reason to urge you to do otherwise. Just don't let stupid little things like language, money, or distance stand in the way of you having a good time.

When one lacks the means to do so sometimes one has no choice. I lack money or a car thus I can't make regular visits to where my friends live, so interecting over VOIP is the best thing I can do.

I've got Sims2 with University and Nightlife. Sometimes it take 1/2 hour to load that game - after shutting down everything that doesn't need to be running.
Yet, when I bought this computer, I knew it was at the low end of compatibility with the game (and was choosing a computer based on what would play the game). I had limited choices at the time, this computer qualified (barely), so that's what I got.
So, I deal with it. Yes, I would love to have a computer that runs Sims2 smoothly and quickly and takes less than 20-30 minutes to load the game. But it's not in my immediate future. I might be able to buy more RAM, though.
And, I'll choose my next computer to play the game (but hopefully have a better video card and/or more RAM).

My computer however has a 160 GB hardrrive, X300 ATI sapphire, Pentium 4 3 Ghz, 1 GB of ram and a DVD-RW drive.
and windows XP it should run fine and it does, generally BUT I partitioned it the problem is that when I did so I didnt put enough space on windows drive, only 10 GB, I need 3 GB spare for it to patch which annoys me now and now I have to work partition magic to get it to work hopefully.
