Some system hardware questions!
Posted: Sat Mar 12, 2005 6:29 am
Okay, so I have Grand Theft Auto: Vice City full version for PC.
When I play it, it is slow and choppy, so I have a question about a system upgrade.
These are the games minimum requirements:
----------------------------------------
800 MHz Intel Pentium III or 800 MHz AMD Athlon
or 1.2GHz Intel Celeron or 1.2 GHz AMD Duron processor
128 MB of RAM
32 MB video card with DirectX 9.0 compatible drivers
("GeForce" or better)
----------------------------------------
Here's what I have:
----------------------------------------
x86 Family 6 Model 11 Stepping 1 GenuineIntel ~1195 MHz
256 MB RAM
Video Card (I guess) Intel(R) 82815 Graphics Controller
----------------------------------------
My question is since roughly half of my RAM is constantly in use, would a simple RAM upgrade improve performance?
Or do I need a better processor or video card?
