Lag again -.-"

I would certainly invest in some more system ram though, you should be able to pick up 8Gb fairly cheaply+ if you aquire some additional ram dont forget to apply the 4Gb patch to the game so it can take advantage of the extra memory.

Also since you mention getting 100+fps, i would suggest turning on vsync, running with an unlocked framerate can "feel" really laggy simply because your fps is going way beyond what your monitor can display, i had a similar issue with sh5, getting fps between 50-120 with vsync off felt a bit of a wild ride, going from smooth to laggy in an instant, turning on vsync and locking the fps to 60Hz smoothed everything out.

Thanks for advice!
Thing is i have constant 150 fps with Silent Hunter 3 but when ship breaks apart it drops to less than 20 and it comes again to 150 after that.
Same happens with other games, Silent Hunter 4 i run at 1280x1024 at ultra settings with fps over 60 all the times,but when ship is about to sink breaking apart it lags ( for mili second , like frame skipping ) for short time than back to 70 fps.
With other games like Amnesia when doors breaks fps drops from over 100 to less than 20 and than back again.
I am not sure if this is RAM or CPU or HDD or background running software fault...
