Yeh i guess so

What price range do you have? Do you want to run anything else but San Andreas?

[aetherh4cker]

If the RAM didn't solve your problem, I'd think that you need a new Video Card... but it's tough to say for sure... what are the required specs on the game?

[liamwilliams]

Well mainly san andreas.

Grand Theft Auto San Andreas System Requirements:
Recommended System Requirements:
Intel Pentuim 4 or AMD XP Processor (or better)
384MB RAM
16x Speed DVD Drive
4.7GB Hard Drive Space
128MB Video Card
DirectX 9 compatible sound & video drivers
Keyboard, mouse or game pad

Minimum System Requirements:
1GHz Pentuim III or AMD Athlon
256MB RAM
8x Speed DVD Drive
3.6 GB Hard Disk Space
64MB Video Card
DirectX 9 compatable sound & video drivers
Keyboard, mouse

And Im also wandering, am I able to buy any graphics card for my pc?

[aetherh4cker]

From what I can tell, your motherboard has an AGP 4x port. So you should be able to get something.

[liamwilliams]

So when buying a graphics card it has to be compatible with the motherboard?

[aetherh4cker]

You have to have a graphics slot for it. Sounds like you're running on integrated graphics right now (no good), so your AGP slot shouldn't be in use at all.

[liamwilliams]

ok, so what I'll do is buy a graphics card and hope for the best. Thanks
