Will GTA 4 Run on these specs?

AMD Athlon x2 5000+ 2.6 Ghz
Nvidia GT 240
4 Gigs of Memory

Thank you

maybe at low settings. gta 4 really needs a quad core cpu. and on top of that your gpu is not the best.

Then what kind of upgrades do i need? My friends Mobo is a socket AM2. For $200 what would be the best upgrades available

For socket AM2 there really aren't any upgrades that would really help for GTA IV, he'd need at least an AM2+ board to upgrade to any CPU that would handle GTA IV well. I'd say either consider a new build, or just play GTA IV on a console, the PC version is horribly coded and needs pretty powerful hardware to brute force through the awful optimization.

Yeah, give up on gta4 on the pc. My specs:
3.0Ghz Q6600
4 gigs of ddr2 1066 clocked at 667 4-4-4-12 @ 2.2v
ASUS 6850

Guess what. GTA4 stutters on my pc at low settings.

its your cpu then i would assume.

I would think a Q6600 overclocked to 3 GHz would be able to handle GTA IV. I have an i5 760 at 2.8 GHz with a 6870 and 4 GB DDR3 1333 RAM and the game will hit the occasional lag spike, but otherwise runs relatively smooth at high settings. Even accounting for the i5's better architecture, my CPU shouldn't be that much faster than a Q6600 at 3 GHz.

And what framerate does he get, 5 FPS? There is absolutely no way such a setup could run Grand Theft Auto IV, even on low settings, that's way below the minimum system requirements!

I for one, am not having any issues with running GTA4 (well, its Episodes from Liberty City) without any lag/ issues! No OC, nothing. There may be that occasional lag, but one or two lag spikes over a couple of hours is something I can live with!
