Do you think the specs are good enough to run SH3 with GWX nice and smooth both at maximum time compression and when attacking ships in port?
It should be okay! Attacking ships in port may be a tad bit slow, but that's mostly because of the game itself not dealing with ports terribly well rather than your PC. Overall that's about right for a good SHIII machine. I had few problems running it on a somewhat slower dual-core Athlon machine with a GeForce 8600GTS, and the FPS generally averaged about 50-60, dropping to 30 around large convoys and ports. That's more than you'll ever need for a game of SHIII's pace. You should see same or better results with your card/PC.

The version of windows you use limits the amount of RAM you can usefully have. If you're running XP or non-pro 32-bit version of Win7, you're limited to 4gb of usable RAM.

Good go-to-site in general, not just grafix cards.
