SHIII for the Notebook Gamer - Page 2

Hello everyone! I just recently bought SHIII and I got to tell you this game is awesome! It's been a few years since I've been able to fall in love again with a PC game. After being married to EAW for a few years I've been game free for a while.

So before I begin my love affair (50+ hours game time thus far) with SHIII I was hoping someone could set me off in the right direction about mods. Having spent a few hours reading the boards about various mods, gameplay, etc. It's apparent this game has a solid fan base which is great!

I've been playing the stock game with 1.4b patch on my notebook PC:

AMD 3400, 2.2 Mhz
1.5 RAM
ATI Xpress 200m 128
15.4 widescreen

I've been tweaking this notebook for maximum performance so the game looks pretty good. Still working on trying to optimize my virtual memory settings. But so far so good. The latest 7.1 ATI driver didnt get it done so I moving back to maybe 6.5 or so....

The GWX mod looks great but may be to heavy for my rig. What mods do you think will play best on my notebook?

Thanks in advance for any help!!!
