RAM is the main problem of any SH3 player! Just make you have enought! Install the game, then in the background activate Windows Task Manager and turn on the game. Then you'll see how much CPU and memory power does it takes away from you!

I play the game on a laptop. My video cand is the Ati x200 mobile with 128 MB of shared memory. I think the 600 has shared memory also. The game plays fine except in harbor (about 8 fps) or when a lot of particles rendering is needed. Otherwise I get 20 to 50. You have to be careful with some of the mods as they may take a lot of video memory, and since you have shared memory, it will slow your CPU. I have 1GB of memory. I am thinking of going to 2GB but it will cost a bunch to do this. Nevertheless Vista will probably need this much, so I may have to go the well and do it.
