Agree with BBW
I have 3.0, 1 gb ram and a 6800 and running it so you shouldn't have any problems.

Why not get em both and have a dual install? Then you can play in different ways depending on how you feel.

I'm not computer savy enough to figure out how to do a dual-install. I'll be doing good just to download one mod. I like hardware, not software...

This is a step by step how to for setting up multi installs:

Install of Multiple Versions
1)Complete a fresh install of SH3 + 1.4b as normal.
2)Create a copy of the program folder & rename as required.
3)Install your mod of choice to the renamed version.
4)Create and rename shortcuts as required.
5)Use MultiSH3 to create separate save locations for each install.

SH3 Commander & Multiple Installs
It is recommended to have a separate install of Commander for each different install of SH3.
1)Install SH3Commander and rename the program folder to suit.
2)Rename each SH3Cmdr shortcut as required.
3)You will need to use the l: switch to point SH3Cmdr to the right installation.
Here's an example of the l: switch for dual installs, just tailor it to fit.....
Right click on the SH3Cmdr shortcut & choose properties.

Target "C:\Program Files\SH3 Commander-GWX\SH3Cmdr.exe" /l:"C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent HunterIII-GWX"

Start in "C:\Program Files\SH3 Commander-GWX"

Most decently popular games always have community developed multi mod installers so multi installing is as easy as clicking a few buttons, no worries mate.

In the rare case some games have out of the box multi mod installers sucha s the battlefield series)
