Well i ran into that problem with GTA Vice city on one of my older computers and it was my video card. I think it would be the video card if u meet all the specs besides the card.
So maby its time for an upgrade.:)
Hope this helps

Ur problem is that you don't have enough onboard RAM on the gfx card. Check that your computer can run the game using this handy site:
http://prod2.srtest.com/referrer/srtest
find the game on the list, and it will tell you what isn't right, and what you should do to fix it.

Well, I bought a GeForce FX 5200 for my old computer to play World of Warcraft from New Egg and I was happy with the fact that I could read reviews from users and with the fast shipping. The card looked nice for World of Warcraft, but unfortunately I didn't have enough RAM and my system uses RDRAM so I have to get another computer unless I want to keep playing stuff like original Halo! lol

Well on the box it said 256 was the min but they updated it later. It ran but when I would go into the cities it slowed down to a crawl untill it loaded all the stuff and when I tried to do the team battles it was too slow too. I miss that game though; maybe I could just buy 2x256 off ebay for now (I have 2 slots left). But I'm still going to have to replace the computer cause the CPU is too slow for most games (old P4).
