Get a faster hard drive and some better RAM. Then GTA will load faster
I never had that much of a problem, I only crashed into invisible things a few times and then I upgraded my PC and it ran fine.
Hell, grab your wallet, throw a couple bucks into the air and leg it!
My brother got stabbed in the arm when he caught two people trying to break into his car, both of them had knives, he was un-armed and still got off reasonably ok.

It's your ATI that's causing the problem. Get rid of it. It's that simple.
My brother also has a radeon and he get's the exact same problem.

Finished Contest and right now I'm reading 'A Sparrow Falls' by Wilbur Smith, very interesting book. I also share names with one of the main characters, my mother named me after him.
