Well, it's T-108 minutes until launch. Say your prayers, make love to whoever you need to and brace yourselves.

so say if I were to get a q6600, how much of a performance increase would I get?

Massive. Probably 300% or so faster in this game.

I'd guess if I upgraded it would only be a couple fps maybe not even that.

Probably like 50% faster on the minimum FPS.

Not really an upgrade (if you can call it that) which would make sense in your case, I agree.

Maybe you can fly planes in GTA IV? I was looking in the handling.dat file and it has planes in there!

It'll be for the ones at the airport that you can't control. There aren't any flyable planes in the game.

The handling.dat file is the same one from previous GTAs so it might be a leftover from a previous game.

EPIC FAIL. There're not enough resources to get above 1024x768 with view distance at 1 and 5fps is about right. I'm totally disgusted that there's no option for anti-aliasing though. If only I could afford the new Alienware rig...

Shocking really when your machine meets the requirements. You don't expect to run max detail at 60fps but it should run half decently. Shame on Rockstar tbh.

Ok this is odd, I am trying to start game and all of a sudden it wont launch? nothing happens?

Oh well. Fallout 3 is the next to try.

I finally discovered you have to wait for Vlads mission before you can use the hail a cab feature, when I tried it Niko whistled the cab & he got in but he was in the driver seat,lol how do we get the cab driver to take us to where we want to go?

I think you should fare better there
