all kids should have new cool computers
my mom said specially no because my computer is also one and a half old
so, i guess i will have to wait
but never giving up in my collectors edition!
though, my mom said that maybe she will buy it for me soon
idk, just keeping my fingers crossed! {yes}

That's the spirit.  (=
You should try it anyway, even if you can't update your computer, you never ever know, it could work perfectly.
And if it doesn't, your parents may change their minds and help you out with the updates. And if they don't, you could always sell something you don't want to gain the money for updates, or earn the money someway or the other so your parents feel you deserve the updates, you know? Don't give up. Like I said, you will have that game working fine somehow. Nothing said it won't work anyway, just because that site says it won't work, does not mean it wont. You don't know until you test it yourself, and as your computer is fairly new, and EA themselves have said it works on older computers anyway, I wouldn't take it to heart.

Well one bar is better than three bars.

I had a search with the video card thing. I tried to look if you can get it updated for free [yes, I'm very dumb, it's obvious you can't but I had a blonde moment] and... you can't. =P I think you knew that though. I still reckon you should get the game anyway, and give it a try. And if it doesn't work, at least you have the game ready for when your computer is updated, you know? I'm sure you're parents will pay for your computer to be updated eventually, and/or I give you the same advice as Serp - sell something(s) you don't want or earn the money by doing chores or a job or something. Sure, it's suckish but it's worth it. I know I'll have to earn the money myself when I get an update.

Sorry I can't be much help, just trying to keep people positive.
