A little more than a month remains before gamers will be able to play GTA: San Andreas on the PC and Rockstar is already preparations for the launching.

The game already has a presentation on the Rockstar site , where fans can also
find some screenshots and a trailer.

But Rockstar has posted a much more important piece of information: the computer requirements for GTA: San Andreas.

The operating system has to be Windows 2000 or Windows XP with DirectX 9.0 installed.

If you want be able to run GTA: San Andreas, the game has to find on your PC the following: 1 GHz CPU, 256 MB of RAM, graphics card with 64 MB RAM and 3.6 GB of free space on the hard disk. These are the minimum requirements.

For a smooth gaming experience, Rockstar recommends a Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon XP, 384 MB RAM and a 128 MB graphics card. An Audigy2 soundblaster and a gamepad are also recommended.

The full version of the game will require 4.7 GB of free space.

Considering the PC version of the game will come on a DVD, the PC must also have a DVD-ROM device, 16x being the recommended speed.

If your system lacks one of the above, you have until June 10 to buy the components.

All of your hardware looks fine.
I would first check out if you have the nwewst drivers installed for your hardware, then I would try doing a re-install of windows and gta 3.
That would be the easiest solution.

Yo man! This game rocks. Actually if u have the latest Nvidia drivers, this game crashes. So i had to rollback to an old driver. Graphics are not fantastic, but the game is kick-ass terrific. There will be no other game like this!!!! Mark my words

People.... it ran on my VIA C7 (1.5ghz) with a geforce fx5500 (256mb) since upgraded to an ati radeon HD 2600 (256mb) and 1GB of ram. I can be very sure that it'l run on your system (single core, dual core, or 5,982 cores). 'Course it only ran at 1024x768 (didn't try any higher since that was my systems resolution) at medium graphics settings.

could it work with these
* Fujitsu Siemens AMILO
* Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core –processor
