your cpu is slow adimt it, my xp1900+ running at xp2200+ will totally smoke your old P4......
RDRAM at 533 (1066) is very good ,but my DDR400 is almost as fast.
Your HDD are good, but your graphics card is old tech too.
No way do you have a "top of the line" PC.....
Your PC is Mid range only..... sorry ,but true.
I can GP4 with all grphics at max at 1280x960 with 2xFSAA and 4x AF at 35fps (which is fast enough to be very smooth) and it looks awesome and runs great.
You need to lower your specs for GP4 with not having a "top of the line "PC......
This maybe bad, but all the GP sims when they came uot needed better systems if memory serves me right......
