Hardware requirements for PC version

[GTASAddict]

My PC game disc has arrived (got to love express shipping), I have some questions and more are sure to arise. The instructions call for the following:

 

-Intel Pentium 4 or AMB Athlon XP processor

-1.5 (+) GB RAM

-16 SPEED DVD-ROM Drive

-4.7 GB of free Hard Disk Space (for a "full" installation)

 

How do I verify whether I meet these requirements or not? I am no expert.

Minimum System Requirements

• 1GHz Intel Pentium III or AMD Athlon Processor

• 256MB of RAM

• 8x DVD-ROM Drive

• 3.6 GB of free Hard Disk space for a minimal install

• 64MB Video Card with DirectX 9 compatible drivers ("GeForce3" or better)

• DirectX 9 compatible Stereo Sound Card

• Keyboard & Mouse

 

Recommended System Requirements:

Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon XP processor (or better)

 384(+) MB of RAM

 16x DVD-ROM drive

 4.7 GB of free Hard Disk space for a full install

 128(+) MB Video Card with DirectX 9 compatible drivers ("GeForce4" or better)

 DirectX 9 compatible Surround Sound Card

 Game pad** with twin axis analog controls (USB or Joystick Port)

 Keyboard & Mouse

** I suggest 12 buttons minimum. I use the Logitech Dual Action ™, as it works straight from the box without any special drivers. Seitek also nice. Attempting to use console controllers may take hours to find the right driver(s) and then still not work.

Onto the installation aspect: The instructions say: "You must have administrator privileges to install and play San Andreas". What does that mean?

The owner of the computer (Primary User) is usually the ADMINistrator.

Pight click on the icon and you should see a choice on the menu.

Certain systems also may require you to run the game in compatibility mode so if you're having trouble with the game once you purchase try right clicking on the icon and click on properties then select the 'Compatibility' tab and try to run the game in compatibility mode for windows 98/me.

Another question: I can't find a PC memory card anywhere, even Amazon & E-bay. Where to find one and where to insert it?

[lil weasel]

You have to know what memory strips are already in your machine, or what type and size (memory mb) it will take.

Then swap them out, or fill empty slots.

 

these are not 'cards' you stick in like on the PS2.

Well, thanks for the advice, but don't lock because I may have more questions. Lets see if I can get used to all this.

 

I still prefer PS2.

Sort of of like MIB: The game, best played on Windows 95, not XP. Notsure about Vista, 7, or 8.

I was just rereading your topic

 

I realized that I gave you unneeded information.

 

You Don't Need a memory Card as in the PS2 game. Your game will save to the Hard Drive without any intervention by you.
