We are allowed by Law to have a choice! Service Pack 2 will be automatically updated because all mechanisms that blocks SP2 from installing to your system will be turn off. And another thing that I've found out in a recent article: SLI does not support dual screen! link Also I believe when it comes to getting a new VGA card it's really a PITA because we always want the best with the cheapest price! Another thing is picking out the right card can be really confusing and difficult. Well look no further click on the link below take course on graphic cards 101. Graphic Cards 101

Yes these specs are low, but if you compare the GTA VC to this one then it's a huge leap. especially the VGA card, not that much people who have a 128mb vga card as of yet. As for the super computer, home user system are not the fastest so therefore they are not super computers. Well maybe at a "home use" level but, compare to the rest it's definately not a super computer.

True, but you can often run 128mb card games on a 64mb card and get away with it on minimum settings. I guess R* finally decided to up the GFX of the GTA games for PC users. The Radeon 7000 doesn't come in 128mb form, does it? If so, why?!?! ------------------ -My site got deleted-

The Radeon 7000 doesn't come in 128mb form, does it? If so, why?!?! Nope the Radeon 7000 does not come in 128mb version only 32mb. As for vga cards it's important not to only look at how many "mb" it has but, also the speed of the GPU, RAMDAC, pipelines, ram speed, and the number of "bits" it supports. For example A "256mb" vga card with GPU running at 300MHz and ram speed running at 450MHz is not going to perform well with a "128mb" or" 64mb" vga card if their GPU runs a 500MHz and ram speed running at 1GHz (1,000MHz). *Specs are made up

Now what you do, is spread the fire using house hold items, such as a tea kettle, or slice of bread. Once the fire is nice and roaring, call the Fire Dept. and say Mr.T ran in and did the crime. Your insurance will have to pay you a fee of at least $250,000, in accordance with the Mr.T - Fire act of '91. All that's left to do is buy yourself a new place, some furnature/clothing, and a new PC and SA.
