it slowed down a little during 1024x compression

Someone here claimed that increasing the task priority for sh3.exe in the task manager (press ctrl+alt+delete to bring it up) to "high" helps greatly with that problem. Try it. I think you're all set.

Now go out there and
SINK THEM ALL!

Follow up...

about $60 and a few weeks later... I've now added 2GB of Crucial PC2-5300 memory to my machine...and the problems have stopped! :-)

Your PC's fine to play SH3. Get rid of Starforce and your crashing will probably stop.

I've been fighting an identical problem for a few days and today finally got GWX 2.0 working on my machine, that doesn't meet almost any requirements (not even minimum, not to mention the suggested). I've read this thread as well as many other similar on this and other Forums to find a solution. This one was the most helpful and instructive – thank you all for all the know-how you shared with us.

In my case the solution was to simply enlarge RAM capacity (I doubled it and it's still under the minimum requirements). Now I enjoy my first GWX 2.0 patrol.

Thank you all.

I play stock SHIII under Vista, using a GeForce 6200 LE, got a PIV 3.2Ghz and I have 1GB RAM DDR2, and I don't have any such problems.
I got the crazy idea about trying SHIV...

Man.... do not try it!
