    Hey its me again. So....I got GTA San Andreas to run on my t5450. Before I upgrade to the T8300 I was wondering if its going to help my performance at all? The game plays pretty good when ure just walking around, but if ure at an intersection where there's 2 or more cars....forget about it. It starts to lag real bad....like unplayable almost. Any info would b greatly appreciated. Thanks. ---Joe

    Huh ?! I have a T5200 and a GMA 950, and SA runs perfect at medium.

    Before a CPU upgrade, monitor your temps (HWMonitor), and also the CPU usage in task manager, and see if there is any process other than GTA that has a high CPU and memory usage.
