I have a really deep question, I hope this is not bad. But I want The Sims 2, and my CPU FSB is 100MHz, it says it needs a 800MHz processor, BUT my CPU Clock says 1100MHz, will it work on my PC?

If all other components in your PC are up to the game requirement, then yes it will.
An 1100 MHz processor is more than the 800 MHz stated in the game requirements.

I know, but EVEREST says its 100MHz FSB and 1100MHz CPU Clock Speed. Which one is the 800MHz applying too?

FSB applies to the whole system. Your Clock speed is determined commonly by taking the FSB and multiplying it by the Clock Multiplier.
If your FSB is 100mhz, and your Clock speed is 1100mhz, more than likely your multiplier is 11x. But, in reference to your question, the 800mhz is a minimum clock speed for the system, so your 1100mhz processor should be sufficient.

Alright, now I am getting a stupid The Sims 2 error saying: Failed to find any DirectX 7.0c compatible graphics adapters in this system. Please make sure you have a DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics adapter and have installed the latest drivers provided by the manufacturer. The application will now terminate.
Thing is, I have both of them, so whats wrong.
