    The game is playable on the M1330.

    The minimum system requirements for the game are a bit higher than what most M1330 have, but I can say i am able to play the game rather nicely, especially since we have half the recommended video RAM.

    You might want to update your drivers to 180.84, they're the "GTA IV" drivers, and might give you a little performance boost.
