What are your other specs? If they are high enough, there is no reason it
shouldn't work.

my kids have the same card and sims 2 works on it but the graphics aren't
too great the mirrors don't have a reflection and the pond water is either
red or black they have 512 mb ram but the card only has 64 mb so i think
that's the best it'll get with this card
