The HSie patch includes the 4Gb patch. It's a much better option and all its extra features can be turned on and off with the utility enclosed with it. There's some messing about to do manually editing the menu files as well and you have to be careful that these changes do not get overwritten by a later mod such as a widescreen mod - or you will get missing messages and the like. So add the text to the menu files last. There's an additional Steibler mod that can go on top of HSie and does things like pack attacks.
Vanilla SH3 runs fine without a 4GB patch. If you have memory management problems the point at which you get a CTD depends on how much data you have added in all your mods. With base GWX + widescreen it just happens to run fine at first then crash mid campaign.
My advice would be to run OneAlex for modded GWX as he has done all the hard work for you and tested it all out. For NYGM seek out Fifi's NYGM enhanced hardcore or Toyota GT on the mods forum. OneAlex has a slight war problem at the moiment and is not very accessible but Fifi is very helpful.
