Hello, I am looking to purchase the Sims 3 download on origin.com but I want to see if my laptop will be able to run the game. I'm not sure where to find all the specs on my computer, but this is what I could find:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3217U CPU @ 1.80GHz
4.00 GB (3.90 GB usable)
64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor
Will this be able to run the Sims 3? Thank you!
