OverTheBelow Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 No. The graphics card at the link you provided doesn't even hit the minimum requirements either. And the processor would hold back any more powerful graphics card you put in. It'd be better to buy a new PC rather than upgrade that old thing.

YankeesPwnMets Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 1. Windows XP SP2 is not supported by Microsoft. Are you trying to get yourself infected with a virus? 2. The graphics card you want to buy isn't going run IV well at all 3. 2GB of RAM is REALLY borderline for any game today. 4. A Celeron isn't good enough for IV. Pentium is the lowest I would go. Where do you live? We could find a good set up for IV if you give us where you live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you trying to get yourself infected with a virus?" what if he/she aint connected to the net except to activate games? that xp service pack 3 did nothing but put wga on paying customers machines. rockstar made us install it for gfwl pos software installations edit: oh yeah, he could get this. http://www.bit-tech.net/news/hardware/2010...nches-pc-5450/1 it would still be blah, but maybe he could use gamebooster Edited June 16, 2011 by unc13bud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I suggested, get a new motherboard (or better, a new computer ) so you can get a PCI-E graphics card and you will save some cash in the long run. Upgrading that thing is pointless money spending tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
