1. Stop shouting in CAPS

2. No matter how much you overclock, you’ll never be able to play Crysis or GTAIV.

3. You need a much better CPU (at least a fast dual core, but preferably a triple or quad core for GTA4).) to play either Crysis or GTA4.

4. You need a much better graphics card to even play those games on low.

NO

Your CPU and GPU way too old stop even trying upgrade is only option.....

to be honest no
ur graphics card MAY and i mean MAy only play is at the very very very very lowest settings
your cpu wouldn't handle it to be honest lol
and even upgrading your ram wouldn't help

so how would you get it so u can possible to play these games wellll

get a Athlon 64 X2 with Dual Core technology up to 5600 (this is what ur motherboard can support-

also upgrade to 4gb of ram
and probably go for a 9500gt graphics card this one is not to pricey and can run on most low end power supply

this card and ram and cpu will run gtaiv on medium settings i know this because my friend had the exact same setup lol
i am not sure about crysis maybe it would on low and no AAx
well it will work as you can see

i am not sure were u are from but i will post some prices from new egg on those parts
just in case


graphics card= http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814134097&cm_re=9500gt-_-14-134-097-_-Product

cpu = http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103279R&cm_re=5600-_-19-103-279R-_-Product

memory= http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145184&cm_re=ddr2-800_4gb-_-20-145-184-_-Product

now if u put all that in i dont see no reason you couldn't play those games but (NOTE) not at maximum settings (mdeium in gtaiv) depending on your resolution and hard 2 say with crysis

(hope this help)
