Yes, as will the EVGA 512-P1-N402-LR GeForce 6200 512MB DDR2 PCI Graphics Card, shown HERE

Bev.

Can i purchase that in the UK Anywhere?

Thanks

The 3100 is not a gaming computer and has limited expansion slots. Read this article. for a suggestion for upgrading the video.

You cannot upgrade video in a laptop.

Thankyou for your reply.

As it happens i had just discovered that article..

Would a XFX GeForce Fx5200 256MB DDR PCI DVI-I VO or  FX5200 definately work with my computer?

Thanks in advance for a reply. greatly appreciated!

xLittleRose_x

Yes, see HERE

Bev.

Do you know if there is any cheaper options?

Your help is much appreciated.

If you want a PCI card that costs less, then go with the GeForce FX5200 256MB DDR PCI card.

Bev.

And this is compatable with the dell dimension 3100?

xLittleRose_x

I'm sorry, but residing the the US, I am not familiar with the UK sites and really cannot help with this, try using Google to locate a card.

I have just been told about my computer having a low watt value or something? Wheras the game requires a much higher value, and therefore wouldn't work? Is this correct?

"I did some further research into your computer.
Although it does have a PCI slot that you could put a video card in, it has a very small 250 watt power supply.

All of the video cards that could run Sims 3 require at least a 400 watt unit."

Thanks again

Hi, This card HERE will work with your system. PCI cards are hard to get now.
