Your spects are borderline at best.
Without another Gb of RAM there is no way to get better performance.
With another Gb of RAM, you will have minimum spects.
At that time, turn down particle effects in the option screen.
Check out the Omega driver for your video card. (google omega drivers)
Download and install AlacrityPC to get rid of all the junk running in your RAM
Keep your hard drive defragged, and use GameBooster 1.4 to defrag your game files. (AlacrityPC works a lot better than Game booster to clear RAM of junk, but it doesn't defrag the game files)
Some defrag programs will move the game files to the optimal section of your hard drive which have better access and transfer of files to RAM and CPU cache. Since I don't use them I don't know what ones do this.
Be careful of mods that hog RAM and CPU, especially sea floor mods. and harbor mods.
Use SH3CMDR and use the no fatigue and start at sea options.
Check your PC and make sure you have performance optimized for your operating system, including virtual RAM settings
Try different priorities in task manager settings to see if it helps. (Almost all priorities are set to normal. Try different settings to see what effect it may have on performance.)
If you attack convoys, you will have very poor frame rates as the computer has a lot of work to do.
Do not purchase SH4 or SH5 as you have no chance of running them.
Save your spare change and check out the new computers with Windows7; in spite of what the Mac religious fanatics say, it is a very good operating system.
