maybe, but it plays the latest flight sim very well as well as various SIMS modules they have installed and catz 5 and dogz5 and a few other graphics intensive games including an earlier pc version of GTA
I'm going to do a restore this weekend using the Sony discs that came with it to reset the pc to its original state.
thanks!
edit: oh, btw I did find a patch on their official web site for graphics but it made no difference at all

@Masseur
A few of the guys at the game review site that I work for had the same problem running Vice City on the PC. It turned out that if your graphics card does not support 'DirectX Texture Compression', then the PC uses around an extra half-gigabyte of hard drive space as a kind of virtual memory which slows the game down immensly.
If you haven't already, you could try downloading the latest release of DirectX 9 but the problem almost certainly lies with your graphics card. GTA 3 and Vice City are both notorious for requiring much higher PC specifications than the minimum specs given on the box to run at a decent speed

ok, thanks again. I'm pretty sure he had the latest directx installed as I regularly do windows updates for him, but he did only have 1gb free total disk space so maybe after I do the restore of his pc back to basics it might help that he has more free space. I'll post back here at the w/e if any of this made a difference but maybe he will just have to live with it.
I take it there is no gamecube version of vice city?
