Thanks guys for your comments! I accidently patched the game to 1.0.7.0. The Visual IV mod doesn't support the patch when I checked for it. I'm trying with ENB and its a bit more perfect and a slight smooth too. Well, Currently, I can't afford to buy a Quad Core since I already bought the GPU a little while ago. And I'm looking on to AMD for the processor and if I'm switching to AMD, I doubt that I need to change my MB too. Well, AMD is slightly cheaper than Intel especially for tri cores and quad cores. What will you guys say? Do I need to get an AMD + A new MB or get a new Intel CPU?

Hi Guys,

My System Specs:

Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit

Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.20GHz

3GB DDR2 RAM

Samsung 160GB INT-HDD + 500GB SeaGate HDD = 660GB

ASUS Nvidia GTX 560 Ti

I tried to run GTA IV on the PC but the game has a bit of lag. I heard that the PC version of the game have some graphics issues. I can run all other games at max or just decrease little of the settings. I want to know whether if there is a patch or a fix for the game that can solve the lagging. I tried reducing the graphics but the lag still exists. Also, I need to know whether the GPU can run Mafia II also.

Thanks mate. So, there is no need of changing the multiplier? I can't see Clock Ratio. I'll try it and post it as soon as I get it to work. :)

The multiplier as in "CPU clock ratio"? It's optimal for it to be at stock 11 but im not entirely sure you will go that far without adding more vcore, and this being your first time OC i would advice against it, trying wont damage anything tho. :)

If you are alowed to change it to 10 then do that first, with those settings you should have no trouble starting the PC up in windows, so dont touch anything else but the "CPU host" = enable and set to 266, and "CPU clock ratio" = 10.

...So, go ahead and try now. ;)

@swehunt,

Yes, in the BIOS, in the disabled state of CPU Host Frequency Control, the CPU HOST FREQUENCY shows 266. Memory Frequency appears to be 667.

All of em' :D!

@swehunt or any others, if you are hearing this. I got to understand about the FSB and stuff. But if you could just tell me, with my current BIOS (Energy star BIOS, Gigabyte GA 945GCM-S2L) it might be better. And I didn't understand on Reducing the Ram frequency or something you told. I coudln't see it anywhere in my BIOS. You got to help me, I never did any OCing before. And also, would I need to increase the Fan speed? Saw some YT videos showing how to OC E4500 but the guys on the vid are just changing the frequency and the volatge and saving it. So please, enlighten me more on this topic. I can't take a risk of damaging my processor. And will 2.5GHz or 2.6GHz can stop the bottleneck? And can I reach to 2.6GHz with the current specs? I'm just a beginner :D.

System Memory Multiplier
Allows you to set the system memory multiplier. Options are dependent on CPU FSB. Auto sets
memory multiplier according to memory SPD data. (Default: Auto)
Memory Frequency (Mhz)
The memory frequency value is automatically adjusted according to the CPU Host Frequency
(Mhz) and System Memory Multiplier settings.

Just head into BIOS and find these settings from the "system memory multiplier", when you change it (like 1:25/1:1 or whatever your ram use stock) you should be able to determin the ACTUAL speed with the Mhz the "Memory frequency" Just raise the FSB first and under system memory lower the ram module to a lower freq. (1:1 is lower than 1:2 as an exsample.)

So:

1) Raise FSB (233 is a start/2.65Ghz)

2) Lower the actual Mhz via the system memory Multiplier.

3) Check the actual speed via what it says under Memory Frequency, you will need to try several multipliers under "system memory Multiplier" to find the correct one.

Remember these Mhz will raise relative to the FSB and since you want to run the memory at/near it's stock settings you need to run a different multiplier/divider for the ram modules, so for raising the FSB of the CPU will raise the effective clock for the ram modules and by letting them run slower to start with will let you run the CPU overclocked to match the ram modules @ their stock speed since you lowered the speed of them.

I'm planning to get a new one, but won't be soon. By the time, to keep things on the run, I may OC it to 2.7GHz. I heard it was possible since I already put up a thread on it and my friends told me that I can OC it to 2.7GHz with stock coolers. Any objections?
