With GMX out now, I'd say that this is (unfortunately for me ) not true. My "old" workhorse (1.2 GHz, 512 RAM, Nvidia 6800FX) worked well with SH3 + IUB 1.3 and living harbor, but GWX ist to much for it, I believe. I have Crash to Desktops in the end phase of starting SH3-GMX even though I installed everything right.
OK I see what your problem is here. SH3/GW and GWX need CPU power and RAM. If you have enough of both then the game runs fine. I do have less RAM (512MB) but I have a powerfull computer at 3.3GHz, that compensates for the lack of memory. I'm affraid with only 1.2GHz it will be difficult to play GWX. Still as a last resort I would suggest you try to use the No Harbour Traffic add on mod in GWX. It takes away harbour traffic, mines and subnets. Check it out and you might be able to play GWX. Good Luck
