Is This A Good Laptop?

for the price it's alright but you should definitly think about looking for around 2GB of memory as vista might not be great with 1GB however don't go over the top not sure it can use more then 4GB so look for 2GB - couldn't say for sure about sims as I've never played it on a vista pc - presume it will work tho and if it doesn't like vista then you wouldn't be able to play it on anything but rest of the spec looks high enough
