Thank goodness I came across this thread before making a new laptop purchase. The laptop I'm planning to buy is an HP with the NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 2GB. I'm not sure if the graphics problem you guys are having is only on Macs with that card, or if it's been happening with PCs with that card also. I've noticed majority of you guys have graphics video memory of 256Mb-1024Mb, if the Sims 3 alone requires 128Mb, do each additional added expansion packs bump up the video memory requirement as you install them? I'm sure if you have 8 expansion packs installed, 256Mb might be a problem for you or even an 1024Mb if you calculate 9 games (base + 8 expansion packs) x 128Mb (let's say each game requires) = 1152Mb. If it doesn't make sense, I understand, my apology, I'm awful at explaining.
