flanybody - is SH4 multi threaded? I read somewhere that only a few of the minor game functions would take advantage of multi-threading so basically your 1.6 ghz dual-core is just going to run the game at the speed of a standard 1.6 ghz processor if I understand the technicalities of mult-threading correctly.

Also, is your video card a discrete card of one of the "hyper-cache" style ones that borrows from the system memory?

edit: I see you were referring to SH3 in your original post. I'm almost sure SH3 didn't take advantage of multi-threading at all.

You keep mentioning mods for SH3, which would you suggest? I a woefully ignorant of the modding communities. Any help?

As Dixie said, check out subsim. Start with Grey Wolves.

Here's another one, taken just before a hard-reset crash. Damn, it's wobbly...

As a comparison.. here's a screenshot I took a couple days ago after the 1.2 patch. 

I'm running at 1280x1024 4xAA with all options on & max'd but for post-process filtering (since I don't like the 'old movie' overlay look even though it seems to increase my fps slightly). 

It's running at between 30-48 fps on my A64 3700, 2GB RAM, 7900GS

Anyway, here's a Japanese Sub-Chaser that was looking for me after I blow'd up his Destroyer buddy as they were cruisin' by me.
