I searched for a thread but there appears to be no official thread for the mod here.

Basically I'm wondering, before I continue downloading the >1GB mod and potentially waste my download, whether I can have recommendations on if I should use the full or performance pack of NMC's Texture Pack.
My specs:
6770 1GB ATI GPU
i7 2600 CPU
8GB DDR3 RAM
H67MA MBB
1TB HDD
Windows 7 64 bit OS

Those specs runs vanilla Fallout 3 flawlessly, however some of the text in the mod description such as "This game will tax systems 6 years from now" makes me wonder if the full pack is such a good idea. I would prefer not to experience significant slowdowns and stuttering (I had about 3 or 4 years of that with Oblivion with another build, and I've only just gotten Fallout to run smoothly with this new build ) Any opinions will be appreciated
