    I want to play it now im getting my pc really soon this week but will i be able to play it on my pc and then play it on new one using same code i will not be using same hd since one in this pc is 340g and new one is 1tb.

    Also can my specs on current pc run it

    intel penitum 3.0ghz
    gefore 7300
    1 g of ram (and im no vista )

    Im not sure since sims 3 box says i need 1.5g or ram for vista but this is windows 7 so im guessing same.

    Yes, although you'll have to tone down a fair few of the graphics settings.

    My sister plays this on a 1.67GHz sempron with a x1300 Pro at lowest settings around 1024x768/1280x800, runs quite well considering I'm underspec'ed which has never stopped me, can play FEAR2 and Fallout 3 on this machine :)

    I'd say if you haven't already bought it borrow someones copy and give it a try.

    It's not like they limited it to 1 or 2. It's 5 or 7 I think.

    wow, spaz out much. Ever think that maybe he was answering the first question because he didn't see that you had posted again in the thread? You didn't need to jump down his throat.
    If you like, I can get a glass of milk, knock that over, and you can cry about it too.

    If you uninstall it while having internet access your 'install credits' are returned. IF EA still uses the ****ing system, that is. Most games have official patches that remove that shtick.

    That is, let's say you can install 1 game on 5 machines, when you install on one you use 1 credit, and you have 4 installs left. Uninstall the one, and you can install it on another while keeping the installs left number constant.

    Unless TC decides to go on an installing frenzy, I doubt he'll even have to redeem those said credits, assuming they exist.
