As for RAM. My secondary/work computer has 1GB RAM, 2.4 ghz single core hyper-threading proc, nvidia 6800 AGP video card and it used to run SH3 just fine, or even just as good as my new one. Never had any problems. There is a freeware program called Memturbo that you can use to free up memory before firing up SH3 or just to see if there is not enough for SH3.
Your 1.8 processor -should- be able to run the game imo. If I were you I would troubleshoot the problem first and if it turns out that the processor is too slow, I would overclock it  However, I think 65-75 degrees celcius is still a somewhat high temperature for your video card. It should not go above 60-65 imho. An easy and cheap way to add cooling is to take off the CPU cover and put a table fan infront of it  |
EGADS! I think the pagefile increase might have gotten it!
I bumped it from 1.5GB (range of 1.5GB to 1.5GB) to a range of 3GB to 4GB
I just ran a very satisfying patrol up the coast of england, including all the places/things where the game would ctd or get graphical gremlins (ever had the fluorescent yellow graphical error before?
) ...and, while it slowed down a little during 1024x compression a few times, it didn't CTD like it has... fingers crossed!!!
