Given how demanding SH3 is as a game turning AA up could definately produce Frame drops. If SH3 runs smoothly for you by itself then you're fine to try and make slight adjustments like Seawolf said. However if it is already somewhat laggy and pushes the computer to its limits as it is AA could make it unplayable, especially around convoys.

Experimentation is the key.

Oh and an update. I changed my desktop. I even adjusted the borders so that they're even with the windows taskbar at the bottom.
Also, it should be remembered that anything which decreases your framerate is also increasing the temperature inside your CPU. Especially with the latest video cards, CPU temp is something to worry about. You pay $450 for that state-of-the-art card, and burn it up a week later, you'll be sorry. That's why I use a the nVidia 6600GT ... $125 and it doesn't meltdown easily.
