List your computer specs Brand
Model/#
OS: windows 7 64 bit
manufacturer: HP
system model: hp envy 14 notebook pc
processor: intel i5 dual core 2.53GHz
memory: 8 gigs of ram
video card: ati mobility raedon HD 5650
is this what you wanted?
Make sure the switchable graphics are kicking in, you may be playing your games with the Intel graphics rather than the AMD HD 5650. Is the Radeon showing up in Device Manager? Do you have the Cataylst drivers installed? Have a look at this:
take note here that gta 4 is really demanding on the pc version probably not optmized that well so reduce the video settings to minimum and keep resolution as low as possible. computers are a second home

your cpu and ram are definetly NOT your problem, the game is not good optimized, but it's old enough .
Try with a different GPU if you have the posibility or as toxic said, lower the video settings to see any difference
don't be afraid to use disk cleanup and defrag
