you are not going to get very far with any of those. even the processors are not enough for a good visual experience. i have an amd athlon 64 x2 oc'd to 3.28 and cannot play it a t short distances and max settings. are you looking to play it at low settings?

umm, all he did was list the mininum and recommended specs.

GTA IV is the most CPU demanding game out there right now. You can run gta4 with a 4670 1GB.

However the DEll e510 hs a pentium 4. you have no chance in hell of running any new game, especially gta4.

i realize that. i was just saying he should have something that is probably better than the required processor. sorry if it came off as harsh or anything

I had this exact card for a while and it ran great. Played Wow a lot on it and some other games, but nothing like GTA IV.

This next one is a step up for around the same price. A bit more but worth it I think.

Not much you can do without at least spending $100+ on a decent card. And this is all assuming you at least running a decent dual core (might even have to overclock it a bit).
