Yes indeed, welcome aboard.
I can't help you on the D2D issues as I am the kinda guy who likes to have the packaging in my hand.
1.2 is fun and rewarding.
If you do buy 1.2 I wouldn't put any mods in just yet as it is anyone's guess as to whether or not they will be compatible with 1.3. It will be several weeks after the release of 1.3 before it is determined which mods work, which are no longer necessary and which don't work at all with 1.3 (and stand by for a lot of "1.3 BROKE MY GAME!!11! UBI IS TEH SUXXOORS" posts by people who install it and immediately throw the mods back in before testing it).
As I said 1.2 is good, 1.3 will be gooder! It's really just a judgement call as to whether you want to jump in now or wait a little bit. Either way you will enjoy it.
Have a look at upgrading your video card though. I'm running with less processor power, the same RAM but a GF 7800gs and it handles everything but busy ports without a problem ( I keep the "fog" turned off). Even in the ports it is only a little stuttery.... but the visuals in the game are just stunning.
Many times when I have 2 DDs looking for me I will set my motors at 1 knot, get below the layer and then just sit back and watch them hunting for me. Before I know it a half an hour has gone by like it was 60 seconds. Just like watching a movie.
Damn... now I want to go play some more , but the grass outside needs mowing!
