That was my setup less than six months ago.
I think you'd agree that by today's standards it is not a powerful set-up. It does however minimally meet the "recomended specs" for SH3.
There are MANY other things that can affect PC performance... such as spyware and viruses... feeble drivers... programs/ internet running in the background/fragmented hard-drive... etc etc etc.
Even now... as we continue to intensively test inclusions and scout for issues in suspected areas... we keep the recommended specs as an important "signpost" that states "Thou shalt not go beyond this point!"
It is entirely possible as well... to have problems running program extensions and/or modifications that are by FAR less demanding than GW... and STILL naturally have problems... if you have other "unseen" intrinsic problems associated with your PC.

All the DEV team members of GW have various PC's low end, and top end, we EXTENSIVELY test graphic settings on all our pc's, if we find anything at fault IE:- fps drops due to some reason or another we as a team find the cause and test it thoroughly..and change it.
