Sims 3 Requirements
2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent
1 GB RAM
128 MB Video Card with support for Pixel Shader 2.0
The latest version of DirectX 9.0c
Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2
At least 6.1 GB of hard drive space with at least 1 GB of additional space for custom content and saved games

Unfortunately you have an intel integrated graphics chip that does not support pixel shader 2.0, and you don't have enough RAM.

Therefore you will not be able to play The Sims 3 on that system.

What if I get a 2GB or 1GB ram?

Hey there!

Sorry to tell you, but upgrading your RAM won't help. The problem is your graphics card - or lack of one. Sorry but you'll need a dedicated graphics card for most games.

Okay..well thanks to all for telling.
