Q: Can the sims 2 run (even at a minimal level) with intel GMA 3100 integrated graphics, with Vista and direct x 10?
A: Hi Niel I run Sims 2 on a standard laptop so, YES, it will run. What you have to do is to update your video driver and that should do the trick. edit.....Simcity 4 and Sims 2 are my favorite games, What I suggest is that your direct X v 10 is still in beta mode. I would put the DirectX v9.0c and it will solve your issues.
