Default patches and mods

Hello folks I bought SH4 when it first came out, and after a brief and fairly boring excursion into the big wet, I went back to SH3. Now I am back again, keen to give it another go, and came here looking to see if there were any patches or upgrades I ought to put on to the basic game before I get stuck in. I have nHanced it as best I can and then gone to the download page and there see a number of mods - but which to choose and is there anything I need to put on first?

My system is XPSP3, running two Geforce 7600 PCI-E's in SLI mode with the little bridge thingy joining them together, I have 2Mb ddr2 Ram, which is the max, and it is a 3.4 GHz P4 processor.

One other thing you may be able to help me with though not strictly related.

I also play the X-series space games, and they are very demanding, which is why we got this system in the first place, but I have always had a small problem when in that game, in that when approaching a space-gate, which is when it is most noticeable, every few seconds - ish, there is a slight pause. It isn't jerky the way you get when you just don't have sufficient ram, its as if the processor is taking a breath before it does the next bit. The game is still playable, though I think too much activity on screen might make it worse, but it does spoil it for me. Would it be to do with SLI? The reason I ask is because I loaded the game onto my sons computer just to test it out, and it seemed to go much more smoothly with that - and he has only one card and no SLI....
Anyways, all help, advice and suggestions ( nice ones that is) gratefully received
