SIMS 2 works well on my machine but judging from the whirring noises emanating from my computer I think it is demanding a lot from the system. I can see it being the kind of game where I have to rigidly limit the amount of time I spend playing or I'm going to sink entire afternoons into it.

I'm still pissed that I couldn't get Kotor II to run properly. I've been playing X-Wing Alliance - an old game but a classic in my opinion - and it really put me in the mood for Star Wars.
