My computer and the game with mods

[Angrykirill]

Hello fellow commanders, I've decided to upgrade my comp and one of the reasons behind is to run SH4 with all the great new mods coming up (Maru 1.6, Living Breathing Ocean, Water Reflections, new skins).

My supposed specs after the upgrade:

P4 2.66GHZ
XFX Geforce 7600GT XXX 256MB
2GB Kingston DDR-3200 RAM @ 400MHZ (Not running dual-memory)
Plenty of space as I'm adding another HDD

I can see that my P4 isn't up there in the reccomended specs with the rest of the computer, but will that be a problem that will slow me down? Also, with these specs, how well will I run the game with, say, the reflections/living ocean mod? What settings level and what extra settings? (Antialising)

Thanks in advance, Kirill

You should be just fine. I play the game with lesser specs and with all the mod goodies !

Thanks for the heads up but could I actually expect to get something like this (http://www.ducimus.net/sh4/water_test1.jpg) - pic stolen from the water reflections mod thread. I mean, this pic was clearly taken with a bunch of extra settings used, and I would like to know if this would run on my rig without becoming a slideshow (exagerrating a bit here, I know, but still, stuff like that in theory should create a lot of lag).

You should see that mod now, that pic is nothing compared to what is being done presently with ROW ( Reflections on Water ), other visual mods.

But do the requirements to run it well and lag-free increase proportionally with the.. visual progress?

I would go with what AVG says, he runs it fairly well with his computer, modifies his settings to do so I believe. He could answer that better. I run the game with all game settings maxed ( except fog ) and ROW, including high res. foam. I have a P4(D), 3.2, 2 gigs of ram at 800mhz, and the same video card as yours.
