Even though you only have 2GB RAM, the 3GB switch refers to _virtual memory_, not physical memory. So you can enable the 3GB switch even with 1 GB of RAM, it will help.

If you have windows vista/7, the more video RAM you have, the more your harbors will disappear ! (as paradoxical as it can be....)
That's because the video card memory uses the same 2GB of virtual memory as the game uses, so you will have less memory for the game.

As a conclusion, this will only avoid errors/crashes, and only works on 32bit systems (with more positive impact for vista/win7 uses).
Missing harbours have been an issue with the game when users add mods. The above post by one of the devs explain this.

With your mod list you should try OHII base only (or go the 3GB switch route).
With OHII base you will only take away the enviromental layer and new ships.
The enviro layer are mines/nets/dolphins/icebergs - so not too much to lose (scapa mission only will be easier)
Removing the new ships will not mean there are less ships to hunt - just none of the modded ones. Traffic will be the same.
