Answer #1
Won’t run GTA :SA, it’s just too weak :/
I believe that by the time SA was released I had an GeForce FX 5500 and I could run fine. I don’t know about what kind of resolution you can expect though, by that time I probably had an 15 CRT monitor, so in-game resolution was never an issue.
Anyways, I’m pretty sure that it wont run at all, and even if it does, it will run like sh*t.
Try to grab an Fx 5500,it will probably be within your price range.
Good luck.

Better use your local Craigslist or possibly eBay.
You should save up $50 bucks for a better card.

If you want to play anything other than minesweeper PLEASE invest a little more money. I wouldnt be surprised if modern integrated graphics chips and intels new gpu/cpu chips would outperform those relics…
