Alright luckily got the processor I ordered last week came in the mail yesterday and after numerous more tweaks I finally got it running smooth and looking decent on my old dell laptop :P
Before tweaks there were still major stuttering issues even with my updgrade (1.8-2.4 Dual Core) and I found that the speedstep driver on the processor was another main cause of this issue, for those with intel processors still having speed issues I suggest making sure that is turned off by looking at your BIOS settings. After that it ran much smoother with no sudden choking. Issues like this explain why most people need ridiculously high system requirements to run the game smoothly straight out of the box.
If you think about it doesn't make any sense why a weaker PSP can play a downgraded version of GTA while faster PC's with min. requirements can barely play it at all on a similar resolution without adjusting for the numerous errors, it really was a lazy pc port but nonetheless a sweet game after the tweaks and graphic enhancements are applied.
lol its finally semi-recordable and you can check out a video of the some gameplay below, appears slow but framerate is finally near constant and much smoother in the actual game, enjoy!
