    Here are the specs:
    T7800 2.6GHz CPU
    3GB of 667 RAM
    GeForce 8800M GTS no overclocking
    running a fresh install of XP pro.

    Medium settings with some high settings.

    If you get some of the Crysis tweak kits, then it can play on high.

    No way it can play at max though.

    As for GTAIV, the main bottle neck is going to be the dual-core CPU, since its recommended to get a quad-core CPU for best performance.... should be able to play it at medium settings at average resolutions (~1280x800) with those specs though.

    I ran GTAIV at high-medium at native resolution with my lappy, so don't expect much. As Gophn stated, you should be able to handle GTAIV at medium settings just fine.
    Also it would have been better if you had posted your question here:
    **Can My Notebook Run It?**

    it depends on with resolution but in the middle range (1280-800) it should run fine in the medium-high

    what is your laptop by the way?
