:| I feel sorry for you how do you evan play at that kind of FPS, hanging and lags give me a headacheMy game runs at 15-20fps and its easily playable, a few things that help are playing from a fresh boot, killing the explorer.exe while I play, killing my anti virus while I play
The disable superpower glow mod also helped somewhat but haven't used it in a while due to patches but even with all 3 in effect the boost was minimal 20-24 fps

I have 8 cores so the cores aint an ishue for me, but like you I have a Nvidia Graphics card and they tend to overheat If im playing realy heavy GPU games I slam a tower fan next to my PC with the case open works like a charmId like to say sstraight off the bat I play on 1680x1050 all else minimum
I wouldnt say my game 'hangs' at all; just stutters occasionally, i usually never even close the background stufd coz my fps is completely fine for me, hell when i had a p3 800mhz, 256mb ram and fx5200 i completed gta sa at 10-15 fps and that didnt bother me too much
about those requirements; they are complete BS! imo ofc, i dunno what that guy was smoking, a quadcore?! Yeah it dont need that...
PS thank you very much for the link for increasing video memory its worked fuckinf miracles am now running 30-37 fps on sr3 and 27-32 on sr4, metro 2033 is finally playable
EDIT: i guess 512mb just dont cut it anymore
I can play saints row perfectly with 15fps no lag but i just wanted to get more fps around 30
