Gateway Parts

Sims 3 system reqs compatable with a Gateway Model MT6728? (specs included)?

Ok, so I reaaaally want to buy Sims 3 to play on my laptop but I'm not sure if my little budget laptop can hack it. Here are the Sims 3 system requirements from the site: http://www.thesims3.com/game/systemreq Here are my laptop's specs: http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/gateway-mt6728-pentium-dual/4507-3121_7-32865723.html Can I run Sims 3 on my laptop as is without it melting? I'm not really versed in technical computer stuff so it'd really help if someone could help me. :[ Thanks! <3

1. Everything looks good, except for clock speed of the processor and the Graphics card. That would be a big issue. I'd say no, that they are not compatible.
2. If you are running Vista, I am not sure how well, if at all you will be able to run it, unfortunately. If you have XP on your computer instead, there is a better chance you might be able to. I would wait until the game has been out for a week or two and see what type of performance people are getting from computers with similar specifications as yours.
3. Definitely not happening.
4. It would work, just very poorly. If you don't mind horrendous graphics and bad framerates, you should be Oh-kay... I wouldn't recommend. But I know there is nothing stopping a Sims fan from getting their game... Also, Sims 3 is pretty good, been playing it for the last two weeks or so.
5. thats a little upsetting to hear since i too own a gateway laptop, but god knows i wouldnt be able to figure out the model number, i too am i huge sim head, bad thing is my parents desktop tends to eat up disks and runs very slow so i wouldnt wanna risk my new sims 3 game is that death machine, of course im still going to try and run it on my laptop, fingers crossed if it doesnt work im going to figure out what i gota do to make it work...!!!
