Do I have a chance?

Oh, also - in my observation your performance in SHIV should be pretty much equal to performance in SHIII with newer mods (that have 16km visibility), provided your video card and drivers are properly updated. Certainly the case for me, in part because SHIV takes some advantage of multi-threaded processors which SHIII doesn't, so any added load will be negated by that for your machine.

Also, if your video card is struggling a bit, you can always turn down some of the detail. I can safely say you'll need to turn off volumetric fog on yours (it eats away FPS quite a bit), but you will probably be able to dial up the rest of it without losing much performance.

The RAM footprint seems to be just over 1GB, but for the most part you'll be okay with what you have. It might be a bit slower in high time compression, and generally an extra gig would be a good idea, but like I said before - you'll be okay without it.
