Is this a good computer?
Question by ME..: Is this a good computer?
I’ve been looking for a good desktop with a reasonable price. I found this one on Dell’s website. I don’t find anything wrong with it, personally, but I don’t know exactly what I should look for either. I need the computer to basic stuff like hold pictures, and music. so I want to have plenty of room. I’m also a fan of sims and it must be able to play sims3.. according to the system requirements, I think it should be able to but I’m still not positive. I could really use some help/comments. Thanks 🙂

If I upgraded the ram to 3GB would it be worth it? would it play sims 3 better?

It does indeed exceed the minimum requirements for the Sims 3, and it will easily handle surfing the internet, displaying pictures, playing music and allowing you to watch videos.
Enjoy it.
