Hi! I have a macbook pro with only 4g ram which I'm bringing in to upgrade to 8g so the sims3 runs more smoothly. I don't know much about graphics cards/video cards and stuff but I also have an Intel Graphics HD which is built in and also NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M and my game runs fine with 7 expansion packs installed. The graphics are great, in fact I changed the setting in options to 1440x900(16:10). I was told from someone else on this forum that has helped me out to set it at 1024x768(4:3) but I didn't like the way it looked. I hope my resolution setting is ok.
It sounds like your laptop is better than mine. My specs are - 2.4GHz Intel Core i5 processor, memory is 4gb (1067 MHz DDR3) which i'm upgrading to 8 gb. Anyone here can correct me if I'm wrong :)
My game runs well and I have pets, seasons, generations, ambitions, late night, supernatural and university life installed.
Hope I helped :)
i5 is newer than dual-core processor. And you have a dedicated graphics as well as onboard. From the first post in this thread it looks like the OP has only integrated graphics. Integrated graphics are no good for Sims.
IF the OP has dual graphics, then that changes everything. But it's not in the first post.
