Once again, thanks for the replies, gentlemen.

@Respenus
I'm running 1 gig of RAM, at the current time. The motherboard on my computer only has two memory slots, for some strange reason. It's a Pentium 4 (without hyperthreading), and runs at 1.6 ghz. However, even with the current video card (which is 128 megs of video RAM), I'm able to smoothly play the EB mod for Rome: Total War, with regularly eats up over 800megs of RAM in normal play. After I get the new card, it will be interesting to see how the system deals with all that water!

@Hartmann
On the SH3 game box, there was a warning about the MX cards, but I'm 58 years old! I couldn't see the fine print in the store. At $19.95 US, the game seemed like too good a deal to pass up on. I've got a friend begging me to buy his 6600 (a 256-meg version) from him. But the reason I want a 512 card is because I also plan on running M2TW, when it comes out.

@Warhawk
Tell me about wanting this game sooner. I used to play Aces of the Deep, and loved the game. It was such a welcome departure from the usual "Campaign consists of numerous single missions" kind of games. Even though I currently have no ocean to sail (or hide) in, I'm still transiting to my patrol grid, happily listening to my grammophone, to which I've added mp3's.

By the way, every once in a while, a yellow-to-green blob appears and slowly recedes aft of my boat. Does anyone know what this is? Is it my own boat's exhaust?
