Question
i want to get the sims 3 but i went on canyourunit.com and it said that my computer doesn't meet the requirements. i was real excited about the game and i want to get it. it says that my cpu and cpu speed doesn't meet the requirements. i need 2.4GHz for the cpu speed but i only have 2.19GHz. and for the cpu i have 2.20GHz but i need 2.4GHz. i have the inspiration 530 dell desktop and windows vista. i don't know what to buy or do for this problem.

Answer
You could probably stay with your processor and just add more RAM and/or add a video card. Your video chipset is probably on the motherboard. You need to go on the Dell site and see if you can find out what kind of video card slot your motherboard has. Let me know what you find out and I will be glad to help you further.
