thanks for that, it sounds like these issues are quite common to sh3.
i'm sorry though, i dont fully understand the graffix card info - i can do the harbor traffic, though i like seeing them coming and going.
not sure about the syncro info aswell. are you suggesting i try this out - or it will work with my spec as an aid to my problems ?

strangely enough the fps drop didnt seem as aggresive with just the one stick of memory. ( or maybe thats just my selective memory - wishful thinking ! )
when you mentioned the AA and AF does this mean anti-aliasing, something i can adjust through the graffix setting on my system ?

again, cheers, i'll go off and tinker a bit. and yes, while out at sea and in less stressful enviroments the fps is spot on - love the sunsets and bad weather.

If you are not familiar with changing the AA & AF, then leave it alone (Antialsing & Antroscopic Filtering). I.e Jaggies & Quality at distance, repectively.

Leave the Sync option off.

The Light Harbour Traffic mod will dramatically increase your FPS in harbour and in all honesty, how often do you want to see the ships when leaving port? It's a toss up between Eye Candy & Game performance. Choose whichever you value most.
