Is this going to be OK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig3000 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Yes it will although considering you can get a G0 Q6600 2.4ghz quad or the 45nm 2.3ghz one something similar for around the same price if not cheaper i would go for them, you know that GTA4 much prefers more cores and i think anyone hear would tell you go quad for this game if you can! also the prices look slightly high use www.ebuyer.com would save you about £50 by the looks of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wordsmith Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 I agree, you would have done, had I lived in mainland England. As it is, I live in the Channel Islands, making (I think) that website obselete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharmingCharlie Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 You could have just asked this in the system requirements topic here :- http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=376237 think it's time to start clamping down on these topics.
