Hi finchOU,

I'm running GW with 512 MB ram (2x256 MB, dual channel DDR). I have an AMD XP 2000+ and a Hercules 3D Prophet 9800 Pro 128 MB. My mobo is an Abit NF7S-S, 3 SATA-I hd's and 1 IDE. Soundcard is on-board.

It takes some time for all textures to be loaded, so the first two minutes in dock are spent looking around in different views to get everything running smoothly

. I'm currently in Kiel, and I use 32-64x TC to get out. Once out of that area, 1024x or (a bit further) 2048x are no problem. The rest of the game runs smoothly enough for me, although there's - sometimes - a 1 or 2 second delay when switching views. I do use 100 for particle effects.

I use the stock sea floor and the default 8 km mod. Hope this helps! Oh, stock SH3 runs just fine Kpt. Lehmann... at least in my experience

. Also, having read these posts, I doubt it's worth upgrading to 1024 MB in my situation... DDR2 is out nowadays so the second I buy a new motherboard, it'll be useless

.

Greets,
Firebird.
