    First off GTA 4 was never intended for PCs it's strictly a console game and there for was ported to PC and very badly

    To play the game at any kind of decency you need at least a quad core processor and a mid-range video card with at least 1GB

    Are you sure the processor it needs is single core and not dual? perhaps you have a single and it needs a dual...

    The memory on the graphics card isn't too important, what's more important is the actual card. make sure your card's benchmarks meet or pass the requirement card's benchmarks: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/
