The card is a little on the low side but you should still be able to run GWX.
You are going to get stuttering at high TC (512 to 1024) with your system because SH3 is tracking & loading ships & planes beyond your visual range. You'll notice this the most in the north sea.
As for the crashes at high TC, this can be explained by the fact that you are probably colliding with a ship or have been attacked by a plane and sustained damage. SH3 can't knock you out of TC fast enough to register the damage and therefore dumps you to the desktop.
There are 2 possible solutions to this....
1)Adjust your sound card acceleration, either by dxdiag or through the audio properties in your control panel.
2)Increase your pagefile (aka virtual RAM)
No.1 is your best bet as you have enough RAM installed.
Just be carefull with high TC for two reasons, the first I've already mentioned, the second, well you are missing so much traffic while at high TC. Always try to reduce your TC in areas where you suspect shipping or aircraft.
