I want to upgrade my video card for the sims 2. I have an intel(R) Extreme Graphics 82815; should I stay with the Intel brand or does it matter what brand I go with. and is this something I can install myself or do I need a professional?:confused:
 
Either Nvidia or ATi should be choice in brand. You need to do some research into how much video power and how much money you are looking to spend.

Top of line Nvidia is the 6800 Ultra around $500, same for the ATi X800 pro platinum. Lower versions of both brands are available at many varied prices, from $50 on up. Of course the more you pay, the more powerful the card, at least most of the time.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
