Got a new computer on Monday(free from my wife's work

) which is far superior to the old one which will now be relegated to the basement for the kids enjoyment.

I spent Wednesday afternoon getting a fresh SHIII load, GWX Gold, and the newest version of SHCommander set up and then some of the mods that I like.
Yesterday, I started a new career(totally fresh start from 6/43-where I left off in my Med career on the old set-up).

I am awestruck in the difference a faster computer with more RAM makes in the game(1/2 the load time-

), coupled with the excellent work that the GWX team and all of the other modders have put into this excellent game.

My old computer handled the game fine, especially after I got my CTD issues taken care of, and the graphics were meh. Things got a little choppy around convoys and rough seas but were still playable.
With my new computer, the graphics are incredible, especially after GWX Gold was installed. My frame rate is up to 60FPS(from around 15FPS or so

) which makes things run very smoothly compared to my old set up. I have been spending a lot of time in external views and really enjoying the incredible views.

Yesterday after work, I sank a Liberty ship at night in fog and before she went down, as she was slowly settling by the bows, I couldn't get over at how realistic it looked, kinda ghostly in the distance.

Once again, my hat is off to the GWX team and all the other modders who have made this game what it is.

Thank you.
