EA can eat my ass.
Sims3 blue-screens my roommates Dell laptop every time, but not consistently. It's totally random. Sometimes, it's right after loading, other times, she plays for an hour before it goes tits-up.
She has one of the better DirectX 10 capable Intel embedded graphics chipsets...
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500MHD
...it uses shared memory, but she also has 4GB of memory in her computer, so it should be ok.
I know it's not uber-powerful by any stretch of the imagination, but it shouldn't blue-screen. Hell, she runs World of Warcraft and Age of Empires III on it and they never crash.
At worst, she should just have to turn down some of the eye-candy. EA has lots of people reporting issues on the forums and the official response is "we don't support that chipset". They don't seem interested in even trying to figure out what the problem might be.
