just purchased Silent Hunter 3 a few days ago... my PC meets all the game's requirements except for the RAM... game recommends 1GB, i only have 700+. I have a P4 2.4 Ghz machine with an old AGP GeForce FX 5500 card..it runs on windows xp.

when i'm playing this game, framerate is ok except when im diving or surfacing while looking thourgh the periscopes.... and when i use the UZO on the bridge. the waves that come crashing at the front of the ship makes the UZO useless. my systems cant handle the water splashes...

would increasing the RAM without changing the video card make a big difference? im planning on changing it to 2GB...

if you guys think that changing the video card too would be a better choice, then what video card would be a good replacement.... hopefully something that doesnt need a new PSU..

i was looking at the 6600, but im guessing it requires more power compared to my 5500

thanks...
