first of all make sure u set your CPU to its max throttle speed. (in win vista = max performance, in winxp = always on) not sure on win7 but i think should be about same as vista.

and in power setting set the CPU to 100% min and 100% max. im not sure if u need to upgrade your RAM as well or not. i only get back home in december, that's when i can try the GTA IV in my 9500GT and E6300.
 
should be in control panel > power options.
make sure its in high performance, and then check the settings, for CPU. minimum 100% and max 100%. however i did not use win7 yet, but it should be quite similar.

is it windows 7 or is it the 64bit????
 
probably the windows. im not sure. do you have many applications running in the background? dont worry just set minimum and max to 100%.
 
no i have only windows messenger running in the background and now ive set the minimum to 100%
 
well im not sure then,. i use only vista. maybe that's the limit your computer can perform.
i'll post back my result with 9500GT on the end of the year later.
 
You need a quad core to play GTA IV, your lower powered dual core won't run it well except on low settings. You should be proud of the FPS you get now though with what you have, that is quite remarkable.
