How to Check If You Have the Requirements for GTA IV

"Grand Theft Auto IV," like previous "GTA" games before it, was ported from its console origins into the land of PC gaming. Most newer computers should be able to run "GTA IV" with little difficulty, but you may have more trouble if your computer is a bit older than most. Grand Theft Auto requires at least an Intel Duo Core 1.8Ghz processor or equivalent, 1GB of RAM, a 256MB Nvidia video card or equivalent, 16GB of free hard drive space and a Windows XP SP3 operating system.
