Default Runs slow in sub, settings help

here is what I have
Intel core2duo T8300@ 2.4ghz
3gigram
winvista 32bit
Nvidia geforce 8600mgt x2

moving around the sub is slow going and cutsceens are very slow. Any tips on making it run smoother or is this game too much of a beast for my system?

Disable shadows entirely. Works miracles on NVIDA cards.

...and I do truly hope that soon the problem with shadows will be plugged and you can enjoy the awesome shadow effects that the game has. Shame they only come "free" to ATI users for now...
