Woo! I was worried b/c this comp. was purchased in 2001, and the processor is the only thing I did not update. Guess I don't have to! I'm sims2 ready!!
That processor will work as long as you have a T&L graphics card. If you have an Intel integrated card or a Radeon VE or 7000, or one of the other nonT&L card, then you'd need a minimum 2.0ghz processor to run the game.
