Hi all-- new to the forum.
I have a macbook from summer 2008. (Macbook 4,1)
Running OSX 10.5.8
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
2GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM
Intel GMA X3100
The only games I play are Sims 3-- the base game along with the ambitions and nightlife expansion packs.
The game lags terribly, I have to put all the graphics settings within the game on low. Game freezes often, and really can't enjoy the extent of the game consider graphics/speed/freezing issues.
I'm not terribly familiar with computers, but I've been told by a few people that more RAM would help this issue. I've also been told that I should get an upgraded processor chip.
I'm wondering what you guys would recommend to up the graphics capability/speed/game play and how you would recommend doing those upgrades/where I can find any new parts at the best prices.
Thanks so much! I think I included all the info you'd need, but like I said-- I'm not super experienced so if there's anything I left out please let me know where I would find the info on my comp to relay it to you.
Thanks so much for your help!
