will it play sims 3 and sims medieval?

Will it accept a 320GB SATA 7200RPM HDD? what is the MAX RAM?
the battery is shot will a Duracell - Lithium-Ion Battery for 13" Apple MacBook DR5994 work on this model?

I would say no. Mainly the RAM. I have the late 2009 white MacBook which originally came with 2GB and Sims 3 was very sluggish until I upgraded to 4GB. I don't think it would work at all with only 1. Plus, I don't think the integrated Intel graphics is supported either.

If you can get it to work it's going to run horribly slow.

My white macbook 2010 model plays The Sims 3 pretty well. No lag really. Just the fan comes on really loud.

Mine lost the lag once I upgraded to 4GB. The fan does run all the time though!

I don't know, my Mac runs Sims 3 laggy and it's new

MacBook Pro 15" Early 2011
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50)
2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1024 MB

I don't know why it's laggy even on lowest settings it still only runs like 20-40 fps
