Ive got an IBM Thinkpad A21m, PIII750,384meg ram,..etc, now would integrated graphic card be enough for this game? Ive been waiting ages for this game but I dont want to get a desktop to play the game!!! Quick Replies would be great since I want to go right now and get the game! :)

Depends on what its chipset is. I think it has a Rage Mobility chipset, so I would not be amazed if it worked fine. The system requirements are relatively low for this game. You never know until you try . . .

I found a fix to the slow delay times, I think it is only with ATI cards, but anyway..if you set your AGP Aperture Size to 32mb all the the delays will be gone..I can play 1600x1200x32 smoothly now.

You pick up a prostitute, drive to a deserted alley, and the car starts shaking and your health goes up.
You drop her off, pay her, then kill her and take your money back.

Is this verified? That seems pretty damn ugly to me. Is anyone else offended by this?

Any veteran of the PS2 version already knows about this :p
Essentially the only way to get 125 health is to pick up a prostitute. And you don't have to go into an alley either, I find going to a park to be a lot more effective as sometimes they won't respond in the alleyways.

BTW, I'm not offended, it IS a videogame afterall. A purely fictional pixelated representation of fun ;)

Yes it works in the PC version as well. You can only pickup the girls with red jacket on and a short skirt. They don't always come to your car either just certain ones and at certain times. Also they will not come to you if you are driving a cab or a police car(duh :D ). If you see one just pull up beside her doesnt have to be on the passenger side. She will start walking at you and bend over likes shes talking to you then gets in after about 10secs. Drive underneith a tree or just where there aint much traffic and sit there. Then the dude just gets his freak on.

I think the game does just not like AMD CPUs for some reason. My system is similar and perhaps marginally slower (P4 1.6A at 2.2, 512 MB DDR333, GF3ti200) and runs it perfectly at 1280 x 960 x 32.
