How do i change my graphic card from intel to Radeon?

I would like to play my sims 2 Open for Business but i can't because of an error the error is about my video driver.



I have a Intel(R)82915G/GV/910GL express chipset family which sucks and sims 2 dosen't support it -_-



I went to the sims 2 website and it said that the Sims 2 Open for buisness would work for these





Supported Video Cards:

ATI Radeon series 8500 or better (7x00 models no longer supported), All-In-Wonder 8500, 9000, 9200, 9500, 9600, 9700, 9800, X300, X600, X700, X800, and X850.

NVIDIA GeForce 2, 2 GTS, 3, 3 Ti, 4, 4 Ti, 4200, 4600, and 4800.

NVIDIA GeForce MX 420, 440, and 460.

NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200, 55500, 5600, 5700, 5800, 5900, and 5950.

NVIDIA GeForce PCX 5300, and 5900.

NVIDIA GeForce 6200, 6600, and 6800.

NVIDIA Quadro, Quadro2, and Quadro4.

Intel Extreme Graphics 82865, 82915, and higher.

NOTE: If you have a non-T%26amp;L capable video card, such as Intel Extreme Graphics, then you need at least a 2.4 GHz processor.





How can i change from a intel to a ATI Radeon series 8500 or better (7x00 models no longer supported), All-In-Wonder 8500, 9000, 9200, 9500, 9600, 9700, 9800, X300, X600, X700, X800, and X850.

ok well look i have experience in this.. you can just switch there is nothing to change as long as... you fulfill the pc requirements such as ghz and depending if your motherboard accepts agp pci or pci express.. lets say the graphics card you want is pci express and you have only a pci on your computer, it wont be compatible and you will have to change your mother board which really isnt worth it. just make sure the pins of the graphics card fit in your computer, you have the ram and ghz it needs and the processor and the right windows, download drivers and update patches from the website and you will be fine, the brand dosent matter, i had an ati and switched to nvidia without a problem.. Good Luck!
