I have a question about The Sims Online sys requirements
Here are the reqs:

THE SIMS ONLINE™ / THE SIMS ONLINE CHARTER EDITION
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS


OS: Windows XP (administrator accounts only)/ME/98 (Windows NT/2000/95 not supported)
CPU: 500 MHz Intel Pentium III or AMD Athlon processor
RAM: 128 Mb
CD/DVD-ROM Speed: 4x
Hard Drive Space: 1.6 Gb free hard disk space plus space for saved games, Windows swap-file and DirectX 8.1
Video: 2 MB video card with DirectX 7 compatible driver
Sound: DirectX 7 compatible sound card
Input: Keyboard, Mouse
Internet Connection Speed: 28.8 Kbps or faster
Browser: Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher

Where it says
CD/DVD-ROM Speed: 4x does that mean I need to have a DVD drive? or does it mean I can use either a CD drive, or a DVD drive? I only have a CD drive, I want to be sure if I will be able to play it before I buy it.

Alright, what I thought, just wanted to make sure, before I go blow my money on something I cannot use (which I have before once)

Just be aware that there's a monthly fee to play it, as well.

I think you could've beta-ed it for free.

In general, if you want to play online games, you have to pay for them. ;)
