My Notepad doesn't run the stock game that quickly, so I'm probably not looking at intensive graphics mods.
- What is the difference between the GWX2 and NYGM patches ?
- I saw a tutorial on YouTube about realistic navigation, and would like to give this a go - is there a game option or patch which stops the game showing your position automatically on the Nav Map ?
Any advice would be much appreciated.

While better graphics cards help the games performance, you can get by with a fairly modest card; in my experiences adding more RAM gives the biggest improvement for a single component. Though if you're using an older notebook that uses IDE discs instead of a sata one IO access becomes a nasty bottleneck.
The NYGM is a good mod that enhances the vanilla version of the game (stock), would be a good alternative if your notebook chokes hard with GWX. GWX is like crack, once you play it you're hooked and there's no going back. It's tenfold more realistic and historically correct than anything else. There's dozens of things you'll see (like Battleships and Carriers) that almost never pop up in the stock game.
