    you probably won't be able to run GTA4 perfectly, but it should be playable, especially after the first patch or so.

    I can run in on my p-6860fx (with a T8300) and it runs pretty well.
    If by "cod" you mean call of duty, then it should be fine, i can play it at the highest settings on mine.

    i can play it on my 6860, with the original processor, looks bad, but hey it runs, maybe with a processor upgrade it will be good, the requirements are like a quad core 2.4ghz

    Ditto, runs good. Will run better with CPU upgrade, but do not expect max.

    Gta 4 will never run good on any PC but 2 years from now yes.

    Its a nightmare in terms of optimization. its hard to think how may patches will fix the game plus the shadows look horrible.

    Ding dong, WRONG! Installed it on my friends PC (spec [email protected], 4GB DDR2 1000 and GTX285 2GB VRAM) all maxed out at 48-50fps on his 40"something inch 1080P LCD TV, pretty to the max. My desktop is held back by the graphics card (spec below), but maxed out viewing and draw distance with everything else set as high as the VRAM will allow plays over and never drops below 30fps. Notebook on the other hand is limited to a low cache dual core CPU with a OK graphics card, ruffly about a 9800GT desktop card. Your gonna be able to play GTA4 ok on the system (30-50 view/draw distance, been a while since I had it on here since there is to much cursing for my workplace in this game, wish I could flip a PG13 button in the game), but unless you can put a quad in here it will only play OK.
