The E6850 would probably do fine on low, not very well on medium. It would be bottlenecked by the 9500GT.
Also, GTAIV doesn't count as 'light gaming' lol  | |

yeah, the bottleneck here isnt the cpu, but the gpu...carnage you're pushing a nice GTX 285 (me wants  ) and he's got the 9500gt.....it should have no trouble on low settings though | |

Well there's no doubt about that, but his CPU will still be fine . Just needs to get a beefier GPU (285 is nice btw ).

When I first got GTA4 I was running a E6850 with a 9800 GTX+ and ran pretty good on med and the cpu was just fine, Now with a new cpu and gpu GTA4 get cranked up pretty high with no problems, Just have not played much lately. Planning on getting win 7 64bit whenever it is released and don't really want to be too far into it and have to start over so it's on my to be played at a later date games. Right now I have it on XP 32 bit and can't use all the ram and that game likes the ram.

Just back up your save game profiles, Dauntae  . That's what I did, and I made the move from XP to Vista.
