    Try lowering the saints row settings and see if it plays better

    If you haven't already, download and install the latest game patches.

    Im playing it on a gtx460 on high settings 50+ fps. Is your firewall preventing access? Try turning vsync on (this is not from lag though).

    "1.72 tbs of memory left"...
    this is hard drive space

    "4 gigs of ram"
    this is system memory, understand now?

    People like to call hard drive space memory, but we can say this for SSD drives and really be correct now
