Somewhere on your desktop and right click, then choose properties, under XP
you would then choose the settings Tab, then there is a box that says
display, that's where you can tell what video card you have. Here's an
example of what you would see

From there you can tell that I have a ATI 9600 Mobility card.
If you have a beefy enough video card, then the 1GB won't hurt as bad.
Seeing how my girlfriend was playing the Sims2 on a P2-500 celeron with
384MB of ram and a GF4MX card, it's doable, though painful. But she loves
her SIMs Now with her config, she ran into the problem of not being able to
have enugh SIMs in the game to achieve some goal of like havin 10 people at
a party, has the System would only generate up to 4 sims at a time.
I've since upgraded the GF's system to something a little more robust and
after we had a fight, I got back at her and loaded Vista on her system. That
will teach her ! I was able to reload the base SIMS2 and play it with no
patches, though I had the Special DVD version, which may of had a few
patches pre-applied.
But anyways, since you're 14, I'm going to guess Mums and dad aren't going
to spend much $$ on upgrading you to play the sims, as they probably expect
you to be using that computer to solve world hunger and such. I think
you're system will do well enough, if you have a decent video card
