    That's why I don't want to spend the hour installing it on my T61p... ;)

    It's a good game though, especially with some mods... :D

    So you are one of the gamers that needs to play in extreme high res?

    Not really. I just get kind of annoyed when I have to run a game at a resolution lower than WSXGA+ when my native is higher than that... :eek:

    Back on topic, if you'd like GTAIV to look a little bit better, I'd suggest taking a look at the Visual IV mod. It makes a noticeable difference. ;)

    The Great 1k!

    How is the hit on performance? Lol, probably no greater than the performance hit of GTA 4...

    IMO, it wasn't all that great. Not nearly as large as messing around with GTA's settings themselves...
