San Andreas can run pretty slow at times for me, too. Especially when I'm in a congested city and the heat haze is running. I think if you free up some RAM, it'll run smoother.

Yes.

Go to your Control Panel. Then click on Performance and Maintenance. Then click on see basic info about your PC. Next, click on the Hardware tab. Then click on Device Manager. Click on the plus next to Display adapters and your video card is there.

This is on Windows XP, mind.

 

And, as for freeing up RAM, well... I suppose just delete stuff you don't need from your PC. I don't really know. I'm not good with the tech stuff.

Nah, the best way is to go to the system tray and right-click anything you don't need running (MSN Messenger, anti-virus, anything). Then click end/close/exit on the menu that pops up. If you know what processes are running, use Task Manager (CTRL+ALT+DEL) to end anything useless/not essential.

Same happened to me , took 2 months to realize my middle brother (8) had turned the quality in highest. I lowed it down to the lowest. It felt very fast even in a BMX.

That is a video card. I don't think you can't have a video card.
