Not "not intended for games", but is intended for entry-level or casual games. You can play SA on medium settings with an 8400GS, but you need to have a better one if you want to play IV decently. I read that A Intel GMA 4500MHD Is as good as a 8400GT, but that card sucks too XD

You really should get a new Core 2 Duo/Quad Processor, cause Pentium 4 sucks so bad, with his bad technology.

The only thing you need to work on is your processor:P Its not a DualCore, the rest seems fine

You have plus/minus 75euros left, a 9600gt costs a little over 100$ now, maybe you could find an extra credit:S, but a 8600gt cost 70 to 80$, although it is a slower card, you still can play it on medium i guess:P hmm about the motherboard i just found these two: GIGABYTE GA-E7AUM-DS2H-it comes with a NVIDIA GeForce 9400 $134.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16813128363 ASUS P5N7A-VM LGA 775-it come with a NVIDIA GeForce 9300 $119.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16813131348 so should i stick with my old plan or buy one of these and wait till i have some money to buy a new graphics card? or is there any cheaper video card that you can advice me with Personaly, i think you should stick with your first plan, buy a 8600gt, its way better,than 9300 and 9400series, and its integrated:P so thats always suckish

You have plus/minus 75euros left, a 9600gt costs a little over 100$ now, maybe you could find an extra credit:S, but a 8600gt cost 70 to 80$, although it is a slower card, you still can play it on medium i guess:P Definitely not with that shitty GFXcard:P the rest seems fine

Would you be so kind to tell us what kind of videocard you have, but the rest seems fine, although you could buy 2 gigs of extra ram, always handy!

I dont know for sure;P Cause It says it needs the 7900GT! I dont know if it will make a huge difference between 7900GS and 7900GT, will check that for you on NVIDIA.com . Well i think it makes a lil difference in clockspeeds, but maybe its because of the less amount of shaders between Gegorce Go 7900GTX and Geforce Go 7900GS.

Yesh, you are one of the chosen who can actually play GTA4 in low/medium graphics:P, i guess

Recommended System Requirements OS: Windows Vista - Service Pack 1 / XP - Service Pack 3 Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4Ghz, AMD Phenom X3 2.1Ghz Memory: 2 GB (Windows XP) 2.5 GB (Windows Vista) 18 GB Free Hard Drive Space Video Card: 512MB NVIDIA 8600 / 512MB ATI 3870 I pass, and The NVIDIA Geforce 9600GT is way better than the 8600GT, the 9600GT is compareable with the 8800GTS 640MB :D, Thank you God! Hallelujah:P. Bt why does it has such heavy system requirements?

Hyperthreading just makes your processor go a bit faster, but it's irrelevant. No, it won't work better with an nVidia card, that's just who makes your motherboard chipset but it won't affect your graphics card. I have an nforce chipset as well and my ATi 3870 works wonderfully. You realize that the GX2 sells for between $300-$500 and the 280 is between $350-$700 For the 4850, a card THAT much cheaper to be that high on the benchmark list, makes it an absolutely astounding card. You notice he said 5x...as in 5 San Andreas processes. I don't care what kind of graphics card you have, you're not running 5 instances of a game without taking a performance hit. Yes, you're right... didnt' realize that there was such a big difference in price. So, the ATI seems the best deal. I have to get sth before GTA IV PC gets out. Thank you very much. It was a lot of help. Keep in mind, that some games perform better with ATI's than Nvidia's Bioshock does much better with ATIcards then with Nvidia cards

Your videocard isnt the best, but i guess it works for medium/high settings, and your processor and Ram are very good, and at least you can play with Dx10 which probably makes a huge difference:p

What kind of Core 2 Duo? and with that Gfx card, probably not. It's a really lowendcard. So you could upgrade that one I'm planning to buy a notebook with this specs: Intel DualCore T2330 3gb Ram DDR2 667Mhz 160GB Harddisk Nvidia Geforce 9300M Graphics. DVDRW Duallayer Could it Play GTA4 on low settings?

Yeah, even the crappiest games run chunky or don't run at all on integrated cards. I guess he has an Intel GMA X3100, and that card, its a real pain in the ass XD

i think the 9600GT is an overrated card, it cat even run SA on full, it gives me 10-14 FPS when i do Probably the rest of your PC sucks, because i have a Nvidia Geforce 9600GT, and when I run SA on full, i still get like 120-140 frames per seconde, or you're just lying.

Nope It just sucks that you have a DirectX 9.0c Gfxcard, maybe for like 120 bucks you could buy a equivalent card with DirectX10 if you want to upgrade to Windows Vista, and you defenitely could buy a gig of extra Ram, always handy;). And I dont know much bout AMD processors You defenitely should buy a 9600GT, Its so much better for like 20bucks or something, and its near a highend, and so easy overclockeable you know. And it has so better graphics . But wouldn't it be just by a bit? I mean, I can finally start buying myself these components, but if it's just going to do just a bit, then I'm pretty much wasting my money? No defenitely not, Well if you want to buy the 9500GT anyway, you really need to look for the DDR3 Version, its faster than the DDR2 Version:). And the 9600GT really can take games like Crysis at High Details, and if you decide to overclock it, some details can even get to Ultra High:). And with thr 9500GT it just sticks with Medium/Low

You defenitely should buy a 9600GT, Its so much better for like 20bucks or something, and its near a highend, and so easy overclockeable you know. And it has so better graphics .

Uhh, I guess you could get extra RAM memory, processor is very good for a laptop:p And the videocard, i guess you should get all in medium for smooth play, but im not sure, because videocards in Laptops really arent as good as in desktops you know.

his graphics will be fine actually i reacon Like totally not or something, Geforce 5200 doesnt even support Shader Model 2 t/m 4 so thats too bad

Helleo im new around here so, i guess my pc should qualify? Intel Quad Core Q6600 2.4ghz, OC at 2.7ghz 3Gb Ram DDR2 667MHz 750GB Harddisk Samsung 32mb Cache Nvidia Geforce 9600GT OOC, 650mhz --> 803mhz(Processor Clockspeed) and 900mhz --> 1100mhz(Memory Speed) Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 I think i should play in medium right
