On the other hand, check your system specs. You need at least 4 Gigs of RAM for it to work. My 2005 XP rig just couldn't run it.
This is true, however any 32 bit application can only use up to 3.5gb-3.8gb of RAM. This means, because SH3 is 32 bit, and we can't do anything about that, a Win x64 system with the SH3 4gb patch will still only allow sh3 to run upto 3.5-3.8gb of memory. If sh3 tries to use more, like you have alot of ship models or sophisticated uboat models, then the game will crash. Unfortunately, sh3 is not a 64 bit program.
