First of all, I would like to introduce my readers to a new category on technodorm called “Games”. I will be posting about new releases and gaming related posts there.

GTA 4 is the ninth title in the grand theft auto series.

    windows vista 64bit OS
    1terra hard disk
    ati 4870 1g
    …. i couldn’t even start to install.. it’s saying that my
    system is incompatible with %P… please follow the link for more information “microsoft”…

    what do i need to do?

  6. Justin says:

    OMG…whats the deal with the i7′s not being able to run the game…You’d think that’d be the best way to go. From what i’ve gathered, its still a quad core with either a really really good graphics card, or a quad core with 2 good graphics cards. My triple core is doin aight i guess, medium settings. some mod can change the frame rate to go faster but it cuts the draw distance

  7. horsepowerfreak says:

    look! why dont you all just get an alienware, falcon(12gb ram) or velocity… prices range from usd$6000.00-usd$8000.00
    go to cnettv.com/net and check these out the reviews and stop the complaining.just consider these powerhouses as an investment.

  8. WILL IT WORK??!?? says:

    my system specs-
    intel core 2 duo
    512 mb card-nvida-7900 GT
    1 gb RAm
    120 gb hard disk space..
    WILL IT WORK?????????????????????????????/plz answers
    :-O

  9. Justin says:

    yo honestly yall, i dont see a whole lot of hope for any dual core. Thats just my opinion. My triple core is at 3.1ghz, and it runs on pretty low settings. I got 6gb of memory, my graphics card is a 6400gt. I’d say to buddy right above me, you may need some more ram, and some ghz on that processor. Alienware computers cost so much its rediculous. I’ve always wanted to get one tho. I checked out a used one on craigs for $600 that came with a freakin p4…PASS! If your not able to afford the alienware $$$ bucket, just upgrade your sht. Its gonna have to happen sooner or later. AMD if your ballin on a budget. Intel if your good, and alien stuff if your BAAALLIN!

  10. jubzzz says:

    hello people will gta 4 work on 8200 nvidia geforce, 3gb ram and 2.1 amd phenom *3 processor!!!!!!!!!!! please reply quickly……. thank for your attention!!!!!!!1

  11. Dennis_DDog says:

    I’ve got a AMD Phenom X4 9500 2.2 GhZ Quad, Sapphire Radeon 512 MB video, 4 Gig DDR2 RAM and Realtek sound card with Vista Home Premium. Bought PC for 700 Euros and it works, sort of. I get @ 1280×1024 32-bit MAX everything about 10 frames, but when I lower the settings, I don’t see any boost in performance:(

  12. storm says:

    dude………WTF!!………….vice city requireed only 128 mb ram…………..that waz awesome…..coz anyone could play it………..but now with these specs i dont think anyone will!!!

  13. Dennis_DDog says:

    PS: with MAX everything I mean everything @ full graphics

  14. Justin says:

    I honestly think Im just gonna leave GTAIV for the systems…cause you need a super machine to play it it seems like, and i dont have the chips for no alienware or any interest in buying another computer…FCK that. My sht cost too much for me to consider replacing it…plus it looks cool. Im stickin to mods for san andreas on the pc. I’ll just buy the ps3 version of gta4 b/c nobody even plays online for pc anyways…prolly cause nobody’s computer can play the fcking game…YO DENNIS_DDOG, did your game have bad lag? I was thinking bout getting a quad core processor today.

  15. Justin says:

    JUBUZZ, it’ll work, prolly medium settings, my processor is the same as yours, i just overclocked it. I’d look into upgrading the graphics card maybe tho. mine is a 9400gt and it does the job…but its no over achiever
