What do you think of it will it work good?

Answer 1

There are better PCI graphics cards available (Geforce 8500GT and Radeon HD2400) but for the Sims 2, that one is just fine.

Answer 2

Looking at that description yes as long as it has a BIG memory good screen and a big virtual memory itll do fine.

Answer 3

Dude i think it will work but there are better cards for better games try finding spec for crysis or Blacksite Area 51 those are top games now and when you buy the graphic card  make sure it can support better games then you need don't thnk that you will only play sim 2 for the rest of your life once you got the plaing Bug it is hard to stop. Buy better graphic card  unless you want to spend your life playing sims2 only

but be cafeful some might cheat you out of your money. by giving you "low" spec but high"price" of at least they say its high spec but turn out to be low.    

Answer 4

Just compare against the system requirements of the Sims 2. Judging by the specs, it will run as I had a graphics card before that had worse specs than that and it ran Sims 2 really well.
