Looks good besides the CPU. Dual core 1.6Ghz... get atleast a 2.5 +

That's an onboard Intel video card, GTA IV won't run on that for sure.

You are going to have to raise your budget significantly to play GTA IV with a half decent framerate.

The ATI Radeon HD 3200 in the HP Pavilion has effectively no hope of playing GTA IV well, and the story is the same with the Intel integrated chip in the Asus Essentio.

Also, note that IV really, really, really likes loads of processing power. So to play it well you would need to aim for a higher end dual core (such as the Core 2 Duo E8400) or a quad core.

The systems are also on the low end of the scale for SA-MP; you would probably need better graphics performance to play it nice and smooth on more than low settings.

The processor sucks, you should be looking for a Intel if you wanna play GTA IV and at least 2.5GHZ, Core2Quad is a good one, cheap and works for alot if your on a tight budget.

For video card, you want at least a ATI Radeon HD4600

Clock speed is not everything due to architectural changes. For example, an underclocked 2GHz i7 is significantly faster than an overclocked 3GHz C2Q Q6600.
